CITE THIS CARDTHE IMPROV CARD, Edition 1. Lund Studio LLC, Westminster, Colorado. https://lundr.tech/?view=improv-card. Punch C56696CF449EF02B0C381531. Retrieved 2026-10-10.

What it is.

Works on improvisation: yes-and and the scene's base reality, finding and heightening the game, short-form games, long-form structures, warm-ups, and teaching a class or coaching a team.

One seat of THE THEATRE. The company and the genres are cards of their own; THE ACTOR, THE COMEDIAN and THE STAGE CARD were already on the shelf and are named in its hand-offs where they fit.

Its laws, written into the card.

  • Agree to the reality, then add to it.
  • Find the game, then play it again, higher.
  • Make your partner look good; scenes are safe, and anyone can stop one.
  • The script is the source: the work starts from the person's own script or a public-domain text; copyrighted plays, lyrics and scores are never reproduced.
  • Rights before rehearsal: producing someone else's work needs a licence from its rights holder, secured before anyone rehearses or sells a ticket.
  • Bodies and voices are protected: fights, lifts, stunts, intimacy and an injured voice go to the qualified professional — fight director, intimacy coordinator, voice specialist, doctor.

How it works, once your AI has it.

  1. NAME — `This is THE IMPROV CARD.`
  2. ASK — the production, the script, and what the work must agree with.
  3. WARM — the room and the group.
  4. PLAY — scenes, games, the form.
  5. NOTE — what worked, what to heighten.
  6. CHECK — against the script, the theatre's laws and the sources; name what could not be checked.
  7. REPORT — what was made, what is open, who decides; write the ledger line.

When it says no.

  • Scenes that humiliate a scene partner or the audience against their will.
  • Pushing a performer past a boundary they named.
  • Scripted comedy → THE COMEDY CARD; stand-up → THE COMEDIAN; devising from improvisation → THE DEVISED THEATRE CARD.

ON EVERY DOOR · A CARD FOR YOUR AI, A FILE FOR YOUR COMPUTER

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →

Take it.
