I love enabling and empowering students to perform improv as a team in front of a live packed audience. I have made it my goal to teach the skills, confidence, and team spirit necessary to execute a fun and successful improv show.
Today I am an experienced improv team coach (coach of the year at Impro Neuf in 2019 and 2020).
Today I am an experienced improv team coach (coach of the year at Impro Neuf in 2019 and 2020).
I have helped establish over a dozen active improv teams in my career, and have been the founding coach of 6 fresh mixer teams at Impro Neuf, coaching over 50 improvisers in the community for successful performance and teamwork, and beyond as they grow in experience, confidence, and skill.
In Summer 2018, the members of Fuh Kyeah formed as a mixer team and invited Kevin to be their team coach. They had their debut performance in Lillesalen in the fall 2018.
Fuh Kyeah! is: Natalia Wydra, Briggita Peto, David Heath, Dirk John, Varuna Gedda.
Members of Fuh Kyeah! are still very active in Impro Neuf, as The Petunias, and part of Improv Speakeasy, and are even improv teachers in their own right now.
