Code of conduct

We want improv to be fun, enjoyable and life enhancing for all. We have created a code of conduct (with thanks to established organisations such as Hoopla, The Nursery and Liverpool Comedy Improv). This enables everyone to know what is acceptable and what to do if a problem arises.

Improv is for all regardless of background and by having a shared understanding we can work together to create a diverse, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere at our classes

We do not tolerate harassment of any kind

• Support each other, on stage and off stage.

• Work together as a team.

• Listen to your scene partner.

• Collaborate with your scene partner unless it is unsafe or demeaning to do so.

• Respect physical boundaries and don’t do anything physically dangerous to yourself or your scene partner.

• Respect sexual boundaries, on and off stage.

• Improvise from a place of fun, love, kindness and respect for your fellow improvisers and audience.

• Safety, trust and support is always more important than the temporary existence of an improv scene. So if in doubt, stop the scene, and you won’t be made to feel bad for doing so.

• Risky subject matter in scenes is to be treated with full emotional intelligence, and your teacher is there to help you with this.

• Help us to create an environment free from harassment of any kind, on and off stage.

We ask our students, teachers and performers to respect this at all times.

Should you have a concern please speak to the session leader and know that you will be treated with respect and fairly.

If you feel that there is anything missing from this code of conduct then please let us know.

Cancellation policy
