Rance’s dream is creating a world where bad improv no longer exists. Throughout his career he has seen a lot of improv and focused in on what steers a scene down the path to “bad.” There are many different possibilities depending on the improvisor, and Rance has workshops to counter almost all of them.
He will make your brain hurt. Then the pain will subside and you’ll realize you’re improvising from a whole new mindset with a palette of improv choices ready to make your performance more engaging, more bold, and more fun.
If you would like to know about the next workshop dates or would like to have Rance coach your improv ensemble please let him know.
IMPROV REHAB
Every improvisor picks up a bad habit or two along their journey. Some know what theirs are and some don’t. You don’t have to know what it is to take this class, but you’ll know by the end. Based on hours of observing, performing, and coaching Rance Rizzutto has developed Improv Rehab. It will break your bad habits and focus you in strong relationships and environments…oh, and like rehab, your brain is gonna hurt a little.
IMPROV REHAB II
Improv Rehab didn’t stick? Been awhile and you want something new to shake you out of a funk? IR2 uses the same principals as IR1, but with a few twists and adaptations to accommodate a more advanced group.
EMOTION THROUGH MUSIC
Music is constantly used in television, movies, and theater to drive or solidify an emotional connection for the viewer. This workshop uses music to help the improviser connect emotionally to the relationship of the scene. Whether you perform regularly with musical accompaniment or not, your characters should always feel. The music is only used for inspiring emotion. This is not a musical theater/singing workshop.
IT’S WHO YOU KNOW
A focus in character work. You will need to bring some items with you for this one, and some memories. Creating a character can be pretty spontaneous, holding onto and grounding that character is where the work comes in.
OBJECT OF YOUR DESIRE
Having clear and concise object work can let you add detail to a scene without the need for calling it out verbally. This is Rance’s specialty. You will leave with a new appreciation for object work and the right mindset to make it so much easier to do.
