CODE OF CONDUCT

Improv Comedy Copenhagen (ICC) aims to make improv open and accessible to everyone.

ICC aims to provide a fun, friendly, encouraging, trusting, safe and supportive environment where people can enjoy learning, performing and watching improv.

We believe that everyone can enjoy learning, performing and watching improv.

We aim to provide the best training, resources, shows and community that we can to support all improvisers and audiences.

We aim to provide a supportive and welcoming environment to people of all ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, physical abilities, cultural views, sexual orientations, religions and nationalities, and are currently working to encourage greater diversity and accessibility in the improv scene.

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ANYTHING

ICC does not tolerate harassment of any kind. If you have a concern or complaint, or are worried about the behaviour of a fellow improviser, teacher, director or audience member, please talk to your teacher, the Head of the Training Centre or Artistic Director.

ICC has a variety of people you can choose to talk to unless you would prefer an impartial independent party.

Your concerns WILL be listened to, and follow-up actions agreed with you and carried out.

All concerns will be addressed in the strictest confidence between you and your chosen representative only, and will not be communicated to anyone else in ICC without your permission.

Talking to us helps us to continue to provide a safe and supportive space, and speaking up will never result in your status/role on the course, or in the theatre, being affected.

WE ALSO ASK OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW

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

Support each other - in and out of class - on and off stage.

Work together as a team.

Listen intently to your scene partner.

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

Collaborate, rather than compete, with your fellow improvisers.

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

Respect sexual boundaries, on and off stage.

Safety, trust and support are always more important than the temporary existence of an improv scene. So, if in doubt, stop the scene. 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. As much as possible, avoid divisive topics in scenes.

Help us to create an environment free from sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism or harassment of any kind, on and off stage.

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

THIS DOCUMENT IS OPEN TO FEEDBACK:

Our Code of Conduct & Diversity Policies come from consultation with various improvisers, performers, students and professionals.

We also received advice and information from other theatre companies and organisations.

We’d appreciate your thoughts. If there is anything you would like to add or change please email us at: icc@improvcomedy.dk
