What people have to say about Mark's workshops:
"Mark Beltzman is the funniest and most talented improvisor that I have ever worked with. Any chance you have to work with him is an opportunity for fun, broadening one's knowledge of improvisational technique, and of self. I am immediately signing up for one of Mr. Beltzman's classes... If I could just afford it! I'm sure I can get a scholarship from him because I'm one of his oldest friends. But he's a toughie!"
JIM BELUSHI
"Mark Beltzman walks the walk and listens to the talk. You WILL have fun. And that's what it's all about!"
GEORGE WENDT
More about the workshop:
The Art of Allowing Improv Workshop is for the ensemble actor and improviser who desires to cultivate the ability to flawlessly and spontaneously create magic on stage and in life. IT comes from a place of joy and connection to ones source intuition, and is attained by giving yourself to the art form through LISTENING rather than thinking, from ALLOWING rather than forcing, from being FULLY PRESENT in the moment and FOCUSING on CONNECTION with your partner and your environment. You will understand why making your partner look good makes you in turn look twice as good and makes the work flow. Ultimately, you will understand that this is how ensemble is created.
This workshop will focus on scene work as well as Long form Improvisation. You will learn to develop tools to let scenes emerge organically, including:
cultivating a heightened sense of listening
cultivating a heightened sense of awareness of the scene around you, i.e. environment, textures, emotions, body languages, sounds, etc.
learning the game within the scene
making your partner look good
finding the joy in the exploration
getting out of your own way to allow creativity to flow
understanding that the true magic lies in the synchronicity of you, your partner and the audience all discovering a point of focus at the same time
