SUMMARY:Taking Care of the “Now” With Jonathan Pitts
DESCRIPTION:\nTaking Care of the “Now”\nIf you take care of the “now” in any improv scene, the future always shows up as a great scene. If you don’t take care of the “now”, the future never shows up and the scene spins into quicksand. Using a deeply intuitive scenic process learned from the late Martin DeMatt, one that focuses on listening and responding, the students learn how to take care of the “now” by becoming fully invested in it. They also learn how to let go of worries about where the scene is going and instead learn to understand where the scene is right now.\n \nAbout Jonathan\nJonathan Pitts is an award-winning international improv theatre artist from Chicago with over 30 years’ experience. He’s a creator, director, improviser, producer, and teacher, and he’s also the Founder and Executive Director of Chicago Improv Productions. \nHe co-founded the Chicago Improv Festival and produced it for 20 years.
