A Day Dedicated To You Masterclass with David Razowsky

The focus of this master class is to get the actor to set aside all of the unnecessary elements of improv training and replace them with a life-changing awareness of “You being on stage with you.” The most important person on stage is YOU. YOU get to notice what happens, YOU get to be aware of what’s inspiring you, YOU get to follow what energizes you, and YOU get to celebrate the surprises that YOU create.With the full-day YOU masterclass you’ll enter the world of personal awareness and presentness, of the excitement of knowing what to do the moment the moment arrives! YOU are in charge, and this workshop will be a study of--and a practice of--you connecting to you. YOU are the boss of YOU. Then you get to work it out in performance! A “guided performance,” side coached by David.

The “YOU” “takeaways” will include:

Owning calm self-awareness at the beginning of your scenes immediately leading you to strong points-of-view.

Letting go, moving on. The beat feels like it’s over...now what? You will always know what’s the “now” about your
scene.

This will all lead up to you being a strong, confident, courageous actor, producing scenes that will most surprise...
you.
