"Kat Brown brought a wealth of experience and education in experiential learning to a recent "Train the Trainer” class at my improvisational theatre company, Leela in SF. We have done a handful of these professional development trainings with renown national improv instructors, and her class was by far the MOST FUN and MOST VALUABLE we’ve had thus. Our demographics of students is unique and requires a special combination of skills. She really challenged our instructors to get excited about rising to meet these specific needs- and learn to give feedback and follow-up to students of various learning styles and experience levels. Kat really listened to my needs and goals for our training center when developing the curriculum. She also infused our teachers with energy and fun, the most important ingredients in my opinion for learning. It was amazing what she was able to provide our instructors in a short 3 hour class. It is unanimous- we want her back for more ASAP! " - Jill Eickmann Artistic Director and Co-Founder Leela
"Thank you so very much for all that you do!!!!!! You are both amazing and important and I have seen how much the students and patrons greatly appreciate the special place and community that FCI offers thanks to all the sweat, blood and tears that you superstars put into it. You have created a welcoming, spirited, fun, educational, and very entertaining environment and community. I laugh so hard my stomach hurts!!!! I have watched you perform and you are a consummate professional that I would place in the category of Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kristin Wiig, Molly Shannon, Jane Curtain, and Kate McKinnon…..how did I get so damn lucky! What simply astonishes me is that you are not only gifted artist but also entrepreneurial and a gifted educator. FCI is an amazing accomplishment of which you should be very proud.” " - Matt Krimmer, Student
