COACHING SKILLS WORKSHOP

About this Class

⭐️ This is an advanced workshop for Kismet house team coaches and performers who have completed Kismet’s improv curriculum, or equivalent. WHERE: Kismet Theater 🎯This workshop is intended for aspiring improv coaches and for current coaches who want to share their experience and discuss best practices, as well as ask any questions relating to coaching. 📍For some this may be a starting point, for others a place to tune up certain aspects of your approach, and for everyone a place to share your insights! We all have experienced at least one incredible coach who has served as a role model and inspiration for our own coaching. Plus, we all bring unique experiences with us into the role of coach. By taking part in this workshop you will have a chance to learn, but also to assist your fellow coaches, and aspiring coaches of different levels. We want you to share your opinions and your questions, so come with any you might have! Part way through the workshop we will be joined by volunteer improvisers of different levels. You will not be improvising, but everyone who wants to will have an opportunity to try coaching during the workshop. Spaces are limited.
