CIF 2015 Workshop Belushi and Barinhotlz
SPECIFICS: BROADENING RELATIONSHIP AND LOCATION
How do you make your scene register as real? Or leave the audience to continue to remember that laugh they gave? By grounding your creativity with specifics.  We spend a lot of time learning the rules of improv and working on our performances as a whole--but sometimes isolating the simplest muscle in our craft can be a path to creative joy.  We will be spending the day working that muscle to see how specifics can be one of our greatest tools to leave our own, individual impression on the scene and the audience and how it can lead us to freedom on stage.  We will be looking at it from the perspective of relationship to our partner and to the world we actively surround ourselves in. Simply put, the specifics you inject into the scene are the majority of your creation and expression, and are always the gifts that are the most fun to play with for you, your partner and the audience--whether it be in rehearsal, on-stage or in an on-camera audition. ($50, 20 max)

Rob Belushi lives in Los Angeles, matriculating there from Chicago where he performed at theaters such as Steppenwolf, Northlight and Writer's Theatre and is an alum of the Second City Las Vegas resident company, as well as the Second City National Touring Company. He has headlined the Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas and Charleston Improv Festivals. He has taught improv for Second City in Vegas, Chicago and currently in Hollywood, as well as colleges and improv theaters nationwide. Some of his recent TV credits include: The Mentalist (CBS), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (ABC) How I Met Your Mother (CBS), The Goodwin Games (FOX), and The Joe Schmo Show (Spike). Film credits include Devil's Due (20th Century Fox), Heebie Jeebies (SyFy), Valentines Day (Warner Bros), Thunderstruck (Warner Bros).  Rob grew up in Chicago and Los Angeles and graduated with honors from Wesleyan University (CT) as well as The School at Steppenwolf (Chicago).  

Jon Barinholtz was born and raised in Chicago and is a proud alum of The Second City Conservatory, iO, The Annoyance Theatre, and Steppenwolf Theatre. Jon moved to Los Angeles in the Summer of '09 where he enjoys performing with his sketch and video group Sad On Vacation (www.sadonvacation.com) and in various improv shows all over the city, with Sheldon (Comedy Central Stage, Chicago Improv Fest) being his favorite. You might have seen Jon on the old TV (television) on The New Girl and The Mindy Project (FOX), Parks and Recreation (NBC), Happy Endings (ABC), Getting On (HBO), Key and Peele and Pie Guys (Comedy Central), The McCarthys (CBS), or on the big screen in Dumb and Dumber Too.  Jon wants you to know at one point in his life he thought he had a chance to play in the NBA, and was very wrong about that thought.
