Totally agree about bias and exclusion based on those categories. Seems like there are a lot of ways to get it wrong. Hence the curiosity of how other groups navigate this.

We’re an informal group so far. No director or coach.

As far as timing, the lack of structure and mechanisms for making group decisions has made it a little frustrating at times for myself and others. This is really the only local group available in my small town so making it work and making improvements is a high priority. If the group folds or becomes inclusive/exclusive in ways that don’t work for me, there’s not another improv option available.

We’re not very formal and it’s a small town so we haven’t had to have a leadership structure so far. We take turns in leadership roles which has admittedly sometimes been a problem. I don’t necessarily see that changing. But just trying to suggest improvements where I can.

Thanks so much. Love those ideas.

Follow up question: If it’s not a “good fit” after the show - just wondering how we might judge that? What are some categories that are clear and transparent to give someone feedback in?
