Experience the fun and freedom of duo improv – it allows for nimble play, character-driven discovery, and the potential to expand your range as an improviser. (Besides, it's way easier to schedule a rehearsal for two!)
In this 8-week class, long form improv duo Power Sauce (Stephen Gillikin & Wendy Natividad) will create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where you'll foster a strong connection with your duo partner, build your larger ensemble and theatrical skills, apply those skills back to your duo, and refine your unique comedic voice along the way to perform seamless and confident long form improv.

Making strong physical, vocal, and emotional choices
Exchanging who is playing which character
Creating compelling stage pictures
Playing multiple characters
Grounding scenes
... and more!
