Korea Improv Festival (KIF) 2024 Code of Conduct
The KIF 2024 organizers strive to establish a secure and inclusive environment for all performers and audiences. Our primary objective is to engage in our craft and unleash our creative potential within a lively and supportive setting, void of any harassment or discrimination. Attendees should not feel threatened or excluded based on their race, gender, gender identity, sexual preference, religious beliefs, nationality, age, or disability.
All attendees are expected to comply with local laws and regulations.
We reserve the right to dismiss attendees, performers, or audience members who fail to adhere to our rules. Attendees found in violation of the rules may not be eligible for a refund, at the sole discretion of the KIF organizers.
We are dedicated to promptly and confidentially addressing any concerns. Concerns can be reported to KIF 2024 organizers either in person or via email at [email protected].
Harassment
- While we encourage freedom of expression and exploration of a wide range of topics, including race, gender, and sexuality, we emphasize that such discussions must be approached in a creative and intelligent manner, free from hurtfulness, disrespect, or mockery.
- Harassment, encompassing discrimination, intimidation, or offensive comments, will not be tolerated.
- Respect personal boundaries and consent as established by the instructor and class at the beginning of the workshop.
- When attending shows - refrain from heckling, yelling at performers, or interrupting. Unless performers intentionally engage with the audience, respect the performance and step outside if needed.
Workshop Attendees
- Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Embrace the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Avoid causing distractions during class, ie. talking over the instructor or your fellow attendees.
- Be attentive and present. Watch your classmates during the exercises and performances. If you need to use your mobile device for reasons other than taking notes, kindly step outside the room.
- Avoid giving artistic notes to fellow workshop attendees; it is the instructor's responsibility to manage feedback for the appropriate class level. Feel free to ask questions and talk to the instructor privately with any further issues.
Performers
- Show up on time and respect the time allotted by KIF.
- Maintain a professional attitude on and off the stage. Listen to instructions given by KIF and Funtastic theater staff.
- Do not destroy or vandalize any of the property at the Funtastic Theater.
- If interacting with the audience - respect the audience members' personal space and be mindful of their reactions. Avoid any potentially sensitive topics that may not resonate well with the local audience.
Complaint Process
- We are committed to addressing concerns promptly and confidentially upon request. At any before, during, or after the festival - concerns can be reported to KIF 2024 organizers in person or at [email protected].
