# Bree O'Connor — I help theater artists and writers develop new work in a collaborative creative lab

## About

I've spent 30 years in theater—acting, directing, writing, and producing—and I know that creating new work is harder alone than it is together. I help writers and theater artists develop their ideas through structured creative processes where the magic happens in the conversations between artists, not in isolation.

Most people think new work needs to be "ready" before you workshop it. I work differently: I build environments where unfinished ideas become sharper through listening, experimentation, and playful problem-solving. Whether it's sensory-based script revision techniques or staged readings that give emerging writers real feedback, I design experiences that connect artists to their own vision and to each other.

## What I help with

- Arts and Creativity

## Sessions I offer

- [Work Session ](https://www.everyexpert.com/breeoconnor/book/work-session-) — 1 hour, $120.00
  For established clients.
- [Um, What Exactly Do You DO? ](https://www.everyexpert.com/breeoconnor/book/um-what-exactly-do-you-do-) — 15 min, Free
  There are no "dumb" questions. If you've never heard of a writing coach or creative project development and want to know how it all works, this is your chance to ask with no risk to you. Well, there is one risk- I value my interactions with others and I expect reciprocity. Those who ghost courtesy appointments will not be booked for other services.
- [The Prescription Call](https://www.everyexpert.com/breeoconnor/book/11-video-call) — 45 min, $60.00
  The Prescription Call is designed for one-off appointments or as an exploratory meeting to understand how we might work together long term. These are highly personalized calls where I listen to you and help you form a plan of attack. Here is an incomplete list of reasons for a Prescription Call: Reader for a Self Tape Performance Coaching (i.e. auditions, wedding toasts, work presentations, role coaching, etc) Writing Coaching Performance Project Development Hard Conversation Training
