Guest Workshop: Brian James O'Connell - Position Play

Position Play with Brian James O'Connell
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!

Topics include: "Thing. Concept. Idea.", "The Five Scenes Everyone Tells You *NOT* To Do But Darn It They Come Up On Stage Anyway", "Playing Archetypes", "Mapping Characters" and many, many more. This workshop is dedicated to giving the student “practical applications of improv” and providing replicable good habits/behavior on stage.
