Play the Moment (David Razowsky Master Class)

Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Prerequisite: Level 2 improv classes or permission of the instructor and principal. The challenge for most improvisers is trying to stick to “the rules” and believing “Yes, and” is the magic formula for a successful scene. Characters meander and never find their footing. In an instant, you travel from a state of fluidity to a mess of frustration and ask yourself, “How did I go wrong?” or “Now what?” These masterclasses provide methods and exercises that teach you to connect to your partner and the scene without worrying about the rules. Play the Moment: A moment means a pause, a reflection between lines of dialogue. It gives you time to embrace the silence and respond truthfully to what's happening in the scene. A moment can also indicate a profound change to the scene. In this workshop, you'll recognize the power of playing a moment and allow yourself to feel the impact of silence.
