Online Duos Improv Course

Level: advanced

‘Twoprov’, or ‘duos’ are shows with only two improvisers in. It’s as simple and as complex as that. There is no one else to please and no one else to satisfy. Ranging from the frenetic Two-man Movie to the chatty Bassprov, the art of a duo is to create a show that is so personal to the two of you that no one else could ever be in it. The show just *is* the two of you.

In this course, you will examine how to make a show with just you and a buddy to rely on. Where the two of you are all you have. You will uncover new ways of playing and form them into your own show which is specific to you. You will also examine how to warm up and rehearse as a duo, as well as how to feedback constructively without a director or coach.

The skills learnt here will make you a more confident, flexible player, responding and adding to the show you are playing, however many people there are.

Course Syllabus includes:

Sustaining longer scenes and playing multiple characters

Different styles of duo shows

Building a show particular to the players

Editing and structuring from within a scene

Students are free to enrol alone or with an existing duo partner (or more than one) and your teacher will balance your time with different combinations.

Min. participants 6, max. participants 12.
