I'll be teaching one Improvising From the Gut workshop Thanksgiving Weekend in New York

What Is it?
I'll be using various exercises to work on improvising from your gut. You will practice listening and observing your scene partner to pick up on their behavior and emotional state, and then you will use your observations to react truthfully from the gut. The workshop will be limited to 12 students so that you get plenty of time to try each exercise.

When:
Saturday, November 27, 1:00 - 5:00pm (4 hours of intense work!)

Where:
Simple Studios
134 W.29th (2nd floor b/t 6th & 7th)

Cost:
The workshop will cost $50.

How to Register:
Email me at ircmullaney AT gmail. Include your name, phone number, email address and 1-2 sentence summary of your experience. I'll send you a invoice via paypal to the email address that you provide.

What Do Students Have to Say About This Workshop?

"I would definitely recommend this workshop. It's one of the few that seems to directly improve acting muscles. It strips away everything except the actors affecting each other, and gives you practice using your natural energies to inform a scene. The exercises in this class transformed the way I perform on stage for the better."
- Will Hines, The Stepfathers, UCB Theatre, Co-Host of the UCB Theatre New York Podcast

"Yes, I'd totally recommend this workshop. You don't have to think about what you should be doing or what's right for the scene, you can just do whatever impulse you have. It's quite freeing!"
- Kirk Damato, Decoster, UCB Theatre

"It lets both new and experienced improvisers hone a very particular skill -- observing and responding to your scene partner -- that is fundamental to all improv, but for whatever reason can get lost in the shuffle of daily improv classes and performance. It feels like a back-to-basics approach without being simplistic or boring for experienced improvisers."
- Silvija Ozols, The Stepfathers, UCB Theatre

"I'd absolutely recommend this workshop to a friend, and already have."
- David Siegel

"I took eight workshops during [the Del Close Marathon], and (not to disparage the other wonderful classes I took) yours was by far the most helpful to me. I get recurring notes about staying connected to scenes emotionally, and your exercises were perfect for that. The going from repetition into scenework exercise was particularly useful for me, and it completely got me out of my left brain. I would highly recommend the workshop to friends. It's unlike anything else I've taken. I felt like it broke my brain in a great way."
- Brynna Campbell

"I whole-heartedly believe that every improviser should take this workshop. I can only speak for New York, but this workshop helped maintain performers' authenticity in a scene, no matter what the scenario. That's something everyone can use."
- Cory Palmer

" Improvisers, in general, need more of this kind of training. You kept us up on our feet most of the time and your insights on acting, as well as improv, were always helpful."
- Mark Grenier, Magnet Theater
