Testimonials

“Victoria's initiations workshop was super helpful for leveling up my understanding of pulls and setting up game. I took the session as I was finishing my primary improv courses, and it helped me learn from and with improvisors of all levels. It's been almost a year and I find myself using skills from and reinforced in this workshop every time I do a game and/or initiation-based improv set.” - Zach M.
