Applied Improv - An Introduction to Status
Thursday, 26 February 2026
19:00 - 21:00
Status, in improv, is not about social class or fixed hierarchy. It is the constantly shifting set of behavioural signals—physical, vocal and psychological—that shape relationships moment by moment. In this session, participants will explore how status transactions operate beneath everyday interactions, influencing confidence, humour, authority and connection. Designed for everyone interested in human interaction, the workshop combines experiential practice with concise analytical reflection.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of laughter, and practical takeaways. If you’re curious, open-minded, and up for trying something different, you’ll fit right in.
This is an adult class - over 18s only.
This session will be led by Dave Bourn. Dave is currently the resident improvisation teacher at University of West London and the Court Theatre Drama School. He started improvising to help reduce his anxiety, and began performing with London Theatresports and Sacred Scriptless in the 90s. He has directed shows by Stephen K Amos, Chris McCausland, Felix Dexter and Phil Nichol. The last of which was also nominated for the Perrier award.
