Martina Slobodova
Cast Member
Martina finished both conservatory and economic studies. She is a combined artist/rational thinker. She has a nine-to-five job while devoting her free time to music, nature, and improvisation. She is also a hands-on sports fan and a travel freak, where a backpack is her best friend, along with her imaginary dog.
She has been doing improv for two years and has realized how freeing it may be to have the space to invent a perfectly different self on the stage.
