See all- It Takes Two: Improv Comedy ShowBIG , Barcelona€12.00
GRAB YOUR TICKETS ON OUR WEBSITE
Double the trouble, twice the talent—It Takes Two is your front-row seat to an unforgettable night of duos doing the most. Four fabulous improv pairs hit the stage with nothing but each other, a suggestion, and 20 wild minutes to make theatrical magic (or delightful chaos).
No scripts. No safety nets. Just pure, unpredictable chemistry. Will it be a tender drama, an explosive comedy, or a total descent into absurdity? With each duo bringing their own unique flavor, no two stories—and no two nights—are ever the same.
Whether you’re a sucker for scene-stealing banter or just love watching creative sparks fly, It Takes Two proves that when it comes to improv, two really is the magic number.

Every session has a different theme and a different instructor with an emphasis on giving it a go, and getting plenty of chances to play. Every Thursday, the workshop instructor will post a note in this event (and in the BIG Improv School Facebook Group) with the week's workshop theme!

9/6 Authentic Communication
The business world has moved beyond the one-size-fits-all model, and companies and clients alike are looking for your unique voice. Learn how to speak from the heart, connect immediately, and use your personal experiences, opinions, and personality to shape your interactions. Your voice is unique, it’s time to put it front and centre.16/6 Taking Up Space
The loudest ideas aren’t always the best ones, but they are the ones that get heard. Step off the sidelines and throw yourself into being unapologetically present. We’ll embrace the limelight and learn to feel at home in the hot seat. Let us show you just how much you belong there.23/6 Connect With Your Audience
The more you know who you are talking to, the more you can connect with them, and the more connection you have, the more you will be heard and remembered. Make an impact when you make a human connection.30/7 Pitching Perfect
Let’s get down to business. There’s nothing as crucial as the ability to effectively pitch, whether it be an idea, a product, feedback, or the ultimate project - yourself! In this session we’ll be looking at physicality, voice, gesture, tone, and most importantly, confidence.7/7 Storytelling
In this workshop we will tap into the inherent storyteller within, exploring the logical and emotional progression of narrative storytelling, and how we can build satisfying outcomes together. Using story structures, beats, and presenting techniques, we learn to deliver on what is promised, bringing our audience along for the journey.14/7 Problem Solver
Put it all together and then add in the mistakes, the unexpected questions, and all the things you can’t plan for. Be flexible enough to deal with whatever comes up and take it all in your stride. - BIG SPOTLIGHT: Improv Classes for Pre-TeensBarcelona Improv Group, Barcelona€230.00
