The Evolution of Coaching in Improv

Coaching in improv often lacks formal guidelines, resulting in a situation where anyone can step into the role, regardless of experience. This episode discusses how those who decide to coach usually do so based on their own experiences in improv, often without specific training. Many interviewed improvisers share that their coaching philosophies evolve from their individual experiences and observations of what works and what does not during practices and performances. As a result, the improvisation community can benefit from clearly defined expectations for coaches and teams to create a more structured coaching environment.
