It has to be said that we are of no interest to professional actors because what we do is amateur 
theatrics, so if you are looking for paid employment, we cannot offer that. Our work is not paid 
and our performances are strictly non-profit. Our aim is to practise English, explore drama, offer 
social contact and contribute to  the cultural face of the university.

The year-round weekly drama workshop is held by two of us (as trained in Ireland with the 
Amateur Drama League). Our participants are students, ex-students, and a couple of freelance 
actors. For all of them, the drama workshop is a language class and rehearsals are an English-
language spare time activity. Some have years of experience acting in our plays. Quite a few 
are absolute beginners from various countries of origin studying technical subjects at Duisburg 
university. We are always a blend of experienced members and absolute newcomers, so our 
workshop has to deal with the needs of both at the same time. 

However, if all this information does not have the effect of deterring you, welcome to DUET with 
its international freshfaces and die-hard oddballs!
