From there, she blended the improv and business worlds together to create BraveSpace, a business that goes into corporations to offer "live learning programs and creative business solutions for teams and individuals using the methodology of improvisation." In addition to all that, she is currently in the process of creating and opening her very own theatre with her group "The Founders." Want to learn more about BraveSpace and Kristy?
