Ooooh, thanks. I’m not surprised to find out about the status-improv link, with Johnstone as the point of departure in my investigation.
But follow the hyperlinked term “Status” in the page you linked to, and what do I read?
Status is a character’s sense of self-esteem.
I always felt that LW/OB in general were/are using “status” in different ways than I understood it from studying improv acting.
pjeby’s highly voted comment best sums how I always thought about “status”.
On the dominance hierarchy theory: We should taboo “dominance”, and “submission” for that matter. What do we mean then?
