Taking inspiration from some of the great improv two person shows such as TJ & Dave, Project2, The Boys, and Dummy, this workshop explores the joy of duo performance through grounded scene work. We will lean in to the concept of high risk, high reward by building deep connections with our stage partner to allow for a richer demonstration of our characters authenticity and point of views. Whether it results in a comedic or dramatic outcome, we will relish it all, making for engaging and memorable scenes and shows. We will also examine the performance dynamic of form in a duo show.
