Ro Rovito

Ro Rovito is a comedian, artist, and dork from New Jersey. They have been an improviser for nearly a decade, studying improv at UCB and Magnet theaters. They were most recently on Spaghetti on Megawatt at Magnet. Ro also has extensive experience in sketch comedy, as a writer and performer on the Magnet sketch team Money & Things, as well as directing in sketch workshops such as Ringers and Moxie.

When coaching, I like to focus on two core tenets: Connection and Context. Connection (Who are we to each other? What do we want/need? How do we affect one another?) and Context (Why are we here? What events led us to the moment? What events created the lens through which we view the world?). I utilize exercises that hone our relationship-developing skills and learn how to create characters that are meaningful to one another in a scene. I also like to explore how these characters' fuller lives beyond the scene allow us to extrapolate the larger world of a series of scenes.

I like coaching Monoscene, Club Sandwich, Spokane, and I've been developing two new forms: The Triptych and The Euro-Trip.
