Sorry, but seriously, HOLY SHIZNIT!

Widely considered by many to be the “Guru of Improv,” Dave is in Sydney and ready to bring his unique style of teaching to LMA.

This is an extremely rare opportunity to work with one of the very best Improv Instructors in the world. Just Google David Razowsky and then come back here, go to our Workshops page and click “Register” because this is a class you won’t want to miss.

Dave Razowsky is known for his unique teaching style that connects the mindfulness of Buddhism with improv’s core principals of being in the moment, taking care of your partner, and groundedness. In his 25-year improvisation career David has worked with The Second City, iO West, The Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Dreamworks, BBC’s Whose Line Is It Anyway, and Amsterdam’s Boom Chicago Theatre.

He was Artistic Director of The Second City Training Center Los Angeles, has been honored with an INNY award for Best Improv Coach, and is adjunct faculty in the California State University system. He has been a featured performer and lecturer at the Chicago Improv Festival, The San Francisco Improv Festival, the Vancouver Improv Festival, and The Kennedy Center.

And in the meantime, here’s what other people have to say about Dave:

David taught me to overcome my fear of failure which opened me up to a whole new world of possibilities.

“Lose that which no longer serves you,” and “Be the Santa of Now Town.” I remember leaving your class thinking, “I want to worship at the church of Dave Razowsky!” Spending anytime with Razowsky, be it in a class, workshop or drop-in, will have a profound impact on the way you see and understand improv. You will definitely have “Ah Hah” moments.

– Michael Morales

 

I just learned more about improv and life in general in the last three hours than in my last three years improvising.

A Mind Map of Razowsky’s Teachings by Bob Kodzis

David Razowsky is a genius of improvisation.

You will learn to trust your impulses and embody the truth.
Here’s what I learned:

  • To trust your impulses and embody the truth.
  • To trust being right, and not worry about being wrong.
  • To never hold back.
  • To take and give and it will create fluidity.
  • To bend to meet the fact.
  • To Receive and Give.
  • To work off of your impulse and have a point of view.  That’s the truth.
  • To hold on to your want.  And at the same time surrender to the other, the moment. 
  • To work moment to moment.
  • To let go of your ego.
  • To stay Present and Aware
  • To feel what just happened to you.  Let it land.
  • To notice everything!

 

David’s teaching is truly transformative. His approach is thoughtful, while his technique compels you to find the truth in every moment, and express it without fear of failure.
