The Deconstruction: An Improv Workshop with Brian James O'Connell - 04/06/25
Description: Created by The Family, and under the direction of Del Close himself, The Deconstruction is the single most important long form ever created as it contains every single possible permutation of scene approach and thematic development.
An understanding of The Deconstruction is essential for the artistic, intellectual and technical development of an improviser. Quite simply, an improviser’s understanding of the “work” will never be the same after being exposed to “Decon”; whether you perform short form, improvised Shakespeare or are merely a writer looking to improve your understanding of character and structure, learning these skills will radically improve your understanding of improvisation and raise your level of play. (NOTE: Miles Stroth is my mentor and taught me The Deconstruction personally.)
Prerequisites: Completed Improv Level 2 or equivalent experience.
Date/Time: Sunday 04/06/25 12:30-3:30pm
Cost/Cap: $60/20 person cap
