Welcome To The “Improvisation For Life” Certification Training Weekend, October 10th-12th, 2020
“The training weekend is an invaluable part of the program. This work attracts very special people, and connecting with everyone in person deepens the experience, creating enriching bonds and developing a supportive and creative network. And of course with Katie it’s fun! Lots of opportunity to practice, laugh and play.”
