I have taken several improvisation classes and have never learned so much about myself and improvisation in such a short amount of time. This class is very informative and the teacher was wonderful.

Thanks for a superb improvisational workshop! You opened my eyes, ears, brain and heart to new listening techniques and innovative communications skills. Your ability to meet the needs of all students and to give them performance confidence is a testimony to your excellence as an instructor and director.

Theater is the only art form that imitates life and deals with real life issues. Mr. Razavi’s invaluable training provides students with an opportunity to develop creativity, self- expression, and performance and communication skills far above anything offered in the past. In this unique workshop, all teachers take on the roles of students and participate in every activity, and so they feel and learn step-by-step how each activity works. This tremendously helps teachers to learn the entire process and encourage them to enthusiastically take the learned tools to their classrooms.

Thank you for the terrific experience! …Having worked fifteen years in corporate, I have been to every workshop or seminar you can fathom. In the improv workshop, being a part of the information by participating, brought a new dimension to the learning process. I found that I retained more information than other seminar types, and my listening skills have improved greatly…I discovered new joy in being with people. I look forward meeting my clients and they are no longer just part of my agenda.

…I was looking for a way to extend my knowledge and gain more experience. Mr. Razavi fit the bill perfectly. The result was immediate and effective: not only was my drama teaching enhanced, but also my academic classes were injected with new life and energy. The concepts taught in his acting workshops apply not only to performance but to many aspects of working with people as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend his acting and communication training workshop for any educator, and any professional. As an educator who teaches in a culturally and ethnically heterogeneous school, I was impressed how sensitively, encouragingly, and caringly Mr. Razavi insisted on involving all his students, coming from diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, age, and cultural backgrounds, in workshop activities and theater productions. I have observed closely how effectively his teaching style and innovative Dramasports improv theater formats consistently created learning environments for participating students. His improvisational acting training and writing programs with ongoing successful shows in the region are truly unique and one of a kind.

…Al has been very innovative in developing effective classes for our community. Program evaluations have been outstanding, and members of Riverside Community College management team still comment on a presentation Al made two years ago.

Cyndi Pardee, Riverside Community College,
Community College Supervisor

Mr. Razavi’s teacher-in-service workshops in the areas of teaching performing arts, organizing school-based DRAMASPORTS theater troupes and improv-based creative writing are truly unique. His teacher and student friendly workshops and teaching materials are not only useful in a visual and performing arts setting, but can also easily utilized in conjunction with the core curriculum, as well as Gifted and Talented and at Risk programs.

Thank you for your participation again this year as a workshop presenter in the Temecula Valley International Film Festival's Workshop Series on Filmmaking. You've played a pivotal role in making the workshop series the success that it has become. Thank you for your support from the very beginning!

This seminar was incredibly helpful. I'll be able to use the very complete and helpful booklets as a student and as a teacher. I will be using these simple techniques to help my students produce creative works of their own.
