This 4-hour workshop focuses on two-person scenes as the foundation for work on the basics of improvisation. We will use the ideas of honesty and the moment at hand as starts for our scenework. We will also explore the concepts of Heat and Weight and paying close attention to delve into relationship and the meaning of the moment we have inherited when the lights first come up.
NOTICE:
This workshop is limited to 16 participants, but we have a limited number of Audit Only spots. These spots will allow you to observe the workshop but you will not be able to directly participate in exercises or scenework. Those holding Audit spots will get first dibs if a regular workshop spot becomes available.
Since 2002, TJ & DAVE have performed at the iO Theater in Chicago. In 2006 they began an Off Broadway run, performing monthly at The Barrow Street Theatre in New York City. The 2009 South by Southwest Film festival included the documentary Trust Us, This is All Made Up directed by Alex Karpovsky, which chronicles a "T. J. and Dave" performance. The Chicago Reader has described the show as "an hour of subtle character development, verbal facility, and pantomimic agility that anticipates and plays off the audience's reactions.
