This class is designed for seasoned improvisers, nervous public speakers, people in client-facing jobs, chronic over-explainers, people with incredible lives who don’t know how to talk about them yet, and anyone who secretly worries they’re fundamentally uncharismatic. In other words: everybody.

Position Play improv workshop w/ Brian James O’Connell (3hrs)

Brian James O’Connell teaches you the skills you need to find your “position” in the scene and then play it to the hilt. Position Play was invented by Miles Stroth (Del Close’s “Warchief”, Founder, Owner & Operator of The Pack Theater in Los Angeles) as a way to understand and execute the “scene dynamics” of the Four Basic Scene Types: Logical/Absurd, Character Driven, Alternate Reality and Realistic. If you are able to understand the few tools & techniques needed to play these individual scenes, every other choice you make on stage will be from a place of renewed confidence and successful fun!
