Duos and trios are electric. With fewer players, you’re always on. The work is intimate, connected, and deeply rewarding.
Join as an existing duo or trio ready to strengthen your act, or sign up solo and we’ll build a small group for you. (Regardless, you'll sign up individually--there will be a field to mark down if you're in a group or solo!) If you already perform together, bring the form you’re developing/exploring. We’re here to help you build on your strengths and refine what makes your work distinct.
Over two days, we’ll focus on:
- Clarifying the form each group wants to explore
- Keeping the stage hot with a smaller cast
- Fluid, dynamic transitions
- Shared point of view and rhythm
- Emotional range and escalation
You’ll get dedicated time to workshop your concept, sharpen structure, and receive direct, specific feedback.
Leave with a clearer format, stronger chemistry, and notes you can take straight to the stage.
