What our alumni have to say...
"I've taken so much of Double Edge with me, I see it in my work every day. The training has helped me develop an enormous specificity in artistic communication across the visual, writing, and theater disciplines. Thank you again for helping me start this journey."
"Double Edge Theatre's artistic vision encourages people to wake up, in every sense, with their brains and bodies and spirits."
