Have an Opinion taught by Paul Overton

If you rely too heavily on "gifts" from your scene partners in order to form ideas about your characters, you'll find yourself playing the same characters over and over again. This is due to a lack of strong opinions. Experience guided exercises and experiment with scene play that will ultimately lead you to developing stronger characters with purpose and personality.

Paul began improvising during the Cretaceous period and has studied mostly in North Carolina. He is an original member of Four String Samurai.

Paul Overton

To say Paul Overton is a Renaissance man might be overstating things a bit, but he has done lots of stuff and plans to do a lot more stuff before he dies. He has produced radio documentaries for NPR, traveled the world as a swing dance teacher, taught in the public school system, been in a theatrical union, taught himself to knit, plays ukulele, oh, you get the point. Paul cut his teeth on improv in 2004 and has been a part of several teams in the Triangle area. His favorite and longest lasting relationship has been with Four String Samurai.
