Creating characters via PVP

About

Creating fun, unique, and believable characters can become simple with Physicality, Vocalisation, and Perspective, or PVP. This workshop will focus on each aspect via exercises to find, build, and develop strong characters, then work on combining all 3 aspects to form more complete and complex characters. This workshop is ideal for improvisers and actors of all levels.

The creator and instructor for this course is Ross Horvitz. Ross was born and immediately hit the stage and screen, starring in plays and TV commercials in his youth. Once grown, he spent 18 years in Las Vegas entertaining on and (mostly) off the The Strip. Highlights include Free! Beer The Improv Show at the Excalibur, Awesome 80s Prom at Planet Hollywood, and 2014 Vegas Theatre Company season cast member with productions of Stage Kiss and Mr Burns, a Post-Electric Play. His musical improv team One Take won the 2019 Vegas Theatre HUB team of the year, and opened for Off Book at the KC Improv Festival in 2019. Since 2023, Ross has called Columbus, Ohio, home and has performed in The BachelorX and Lord of the Zings, produced and hosted the improvised gameshow CKO, and co-produced and co-starred in the original immersive, improvised variety show Varietwo.
