Improv Class Code of Conduct

(Yes, of course ChatGPT wrote it. I’m not a lawyer, I just play one on stage)

Improv Class Code of Conduct

  1. Respect Everyone – Treat all participants, instructors, and guests with respect. No harassment, discrimination, or personal attacks.

  2. Create a Safe Space – Support an environment where everyone feels comfortable to take risks and make mistakes without fear of ridicule or judgment.

  3. Consent is Key – Physical contact must be agreed upon in the moment. Always check in if you’re unsure.

  4. Yes, And… – Accept and build on your scene partners’ ideas. Avoid blocking or undermining offers.

  5. No Hate, No Harm – Avoid jokes or scenes that perpetuate hate speech, slurs, or target marginalized groups.

  6. Play the Scene, Not the Person – Keep choices in-character and in-scene, avoiding personal digs.

  7. One Voice at a Time – Listen actively. Don’t talk over scene partners.

  8. Keep It in the Room – Respect privacy. Don’t share personal information or class moments without permission.

  9. Be Present – Arrive on time, stay engaged, and minimize distractions (phones silent, no side conversations).

  10. Support Over Spotlight – Share stage time. Make choices that help your scene partner shine.

Violation of these guidelines may result in a warning or removal from class at the instructor’s discretion.
