6 week evening course - Wednesday evenings, 19:30 to 21:30

On this course we'll dive into the wonderful world of two-person improv. You'll learn duo specific skills for a variety of improv styles, including how to play multi-character scenes and how to edit when there's just two of you - as well as how to work together in an ensemble like no other - one where you make up 50% of the cast!

We'll also look at other duo skills - like how to warm up, rehearse and compere your duo shows & we'll have a load of fun along the way too!

This course is suitable for anyone with some previous long form improv experience. You can come with your duo partner and work with them, or come on your own and you'll get to work with others in the class.

There will be an optional grad show where you can show off your duo skills to friends, family and others in the Dogface Community.
