Ultimate Peas
in a Pod

Workshop

“It takes two to make a thing go right, it takes two to make it outta sight.” — Rob Base and D.J. EZ Rock.

This workshop will be a deep dive into “Peas in a Pod” work. Learn how to let go, mirror, and absorb details to create a dynamic pair of characters. With the partners you meet in this workshop, we will focus on leaning into trust and having fun with the unknown together. Develop your confidence and gain tools to engage in scenework as the ultimate “yes and” duo!

All improv levels are welcome.
