Open session rules

Rules

  1. Improv is about ‘yes and’, but if you feel uncomfortable in a certain scene you can just say NO.
  2. If a scene involves you getting on your knees and they hurt, you don’t have to.
  3. Don’t be a jerk.
  4. If two people on stage touch each other, that usually means that they know each other, and they are ok with it. For others, keep touching to office appropriate.
  5. Don’t pick people up.
  6. When you take out your clothes in a scene, take out your improv clothes.
  7. Don’t take photos, nor videos of this session. We might take pics, but we’ll ask first.
  8. Have fun!!

Best practices

  1. When you’re in a scene, make sure to face the audience.
  2. Speak loudly and clearly
  3. Be aware of where you are on stage – try to not block each other and if someone blocks you, step out from it
