USING YOU
A Comedic Voice & Solo Creation Intensive
June 6 & 7 | Saturday & Sunday | 11AM–5PM
Open to All Levels
What if the most dynamic, reliable thing you could bring to any stage… was you?
USING YOU is a two-day immersive lab designed to help performers of any level discover, clarify, and expand their unique comedic/artistic voice (POV). Through play, physicality, improvisation, writing, and joyful idiocy, you’ll explore how to use your instincts, perspective, and lived experience as powerful creative fuel.
This is not about being polished.
It’s about being THERE.
Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned improviser, this intensive meets you where you are. Let’s play.
5 DAYS OF PLAY — THE ANDĚL WAY
An Intensive / Masterclass in Embodied Improvisation & Acting
M-F June 22-26 12-5
This is not a “tips and tricks” workshop.
This is a full-body, full-heart, full-commitment deep dive into play, presence, character, music, and whatever else finds its way into the room.
Over five immersive days, we build from the body outward — training autonomy, specificity, emotional truth, dynamic relationships, musicality and… ? . Expect sweat. Expect reps. Expect to surprise yourself.
Core Tenets We Train All Week:
When in doubt: care more.
Simple. Specific. Seen.
Interesting and connected over funny.
Get into your body to get out of your head.
Everything is a gift — you decide how to use it. Or throw it away.
You don’t need all the answers. Just one strong one.
Affect and be affected.
This intensive is experiential, rep-heavy, and designed to meet you where you are.
PAST: September in NYC
Anděl, what are you doing in NY?
Great question, thank you for asking, I'm going to see Waiting for Godot.
Oh, with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter?
Omg, Yes.
Oh, Why?
What? Why?
Why not? .
Fin.
I so rarely get to fully play and try something new, this festibal is a gorgeous space for that so I'll be playing with a different way of exploring solo improv, hopefully my body will be up for it:) SHOW LINK
PAST/ Holy Sh*t I Lived!
George C. Owens is taking his solo show(which I had the pleasure of directing) to Edinburgh Fringe. Chieck it out and send me notes! (And I'll be there for a week in August. See you there!
Too late. This was last year. Time flies.
UPCOMING, INCOMING
Admittedly I have not settled on the the right format for this information. But here, we'll try this. In this section I'll try to include all the upcoming shows and workshops I'll be runninging and guesting in. Join me somewhere in the world or through your computer box.
Past Events
The first festival casualty of the pandemic rescheduled: 3 gorgeous days of soul affirming workshops and 4 nights of playful and beautiful shows. And a solid amount of jet lag and gelato. Thank you I Bugiardini, your hospitality, talent and pure joy will not be soon forgotten.
Originally billed as a 5 person improvised musical but when 3 drop from covid(don't worry they're ok) you gotta do 2 person, 2 act improvised musicals to ring in the New Year at beautiful Penobscot Theatre in Bangor Maine. In the immortal words of Tim Gunn we "made it work."
Bucharest is basically where it all started for me, it feels like my second improv home and I jump at any chance to go, play and learn from the community of artist there. One month after I finished my year of Care Work I got put together an international supergroup for their National Festival and ask the questions "What risks can I take?" and "What rust have I accumulated?" It was such a growth experience for me and I can't thank the women of Recul enough for letting me play in their playground.
