Kevin Patrick Robbins Improviser, Writer, Designer, Person

One of the sub­jects I’ve been asked a lot about over the years is coach­ing improv. Over the last three years — since we estab­lished a three-tier sys­tem to our teams (Incubator, Harold and House teams) — that ques­tion has been asked more and more. What is the role of an improv coach? To answer that, I first want to address the nomen­cla­ture of improv “teams” and why those teams have “coaches.”
