In 2004, Kathy Rose took her first improv class, "Crossing the Chasm from Theater to Life," a 2-day Omega Institute class at The Crossings in Austin, taught by Alan Arkin. She studied with Alan again in 2005 and 2008. (The session in 2005 was an advanced, intensive 5-day retreat on the island of Molokai, Hawaii.)

In 2007-2008, she completed levels 1-4 with Shana Merlin and performed with the all-girl troupe Pom Pom Sisterhood. In 2011, she joined Asaf Ronen's Improv Master Class. Asaf created the troupe Grey Matters to showcase the dark comedic chemistry of Kathy Rose, Madeline Jo Chauvin, and Todd Hart.

In 2012, Kathy Rose completed the Hideout Theater's levels 1-3, taught in north Austin by Troy Miller, with the hope of creating a northern cadre of improv performers. Still waiting for that to jell...

Kathy Rose likes to take workshops each year to keep refreshing her skills. These have included clowning with Deanna Fleysher, trance mask work with Steve Jarand, impro theater with Keith Johnstone, narrative intensives with Parallelogramophonograph, and numerous sessions with David Razowsky, whose style of improv she greatly admires.

In 2013, she applied her improv skills to her professional work, becoming "G.G. Norwood," Curator of the Curtis Creek Creature Museum for the short film (mockumentary) "My Monster," directed by Scott Rice.
