You do not need a duo partner to enroll in this class, nor do you need to have taken the "Level 1" Demystifying Duo Improv class. Everyone will have the opportunity to work with each other in different combinations over the 6 weeks to exercise their improv skills through various duo partner dynamics.

In this 6-week class, longform improv duo Power Sauce (Stephen Gillikin & Wendy Natividad) are back again to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where you'll foster a strong connection with your duo partner, exercise your emotional and intuitive skills, explore more complex longforms, and further develop your unique artistic voice.

Each improviser will explore key elements such as…

• Connecting emotionally with your partner, the audience, & your content
• Exploring various longforms & devising new ones
• Playing multiple characters within one scene
• Exchanging who portrays the characters

... and more!

This class is intended for "intermediate-level" level improvisers. Minimum 2 years of general improv experience recommended. However, no prior experience or duo partner required. This workshop will culminate in a live class show featuring you and your fellow improvisers for all of your friends, family, and invited guests to enjoy.
