Practice

How we hold a room.

Draft principles for hosts and makers.

Everyone can step back at any moment without explanation or cost.

A participant is never exposed, mocked or surprised in a way they did not accept.

People are told what will be asked of them before it is asked.

The host holds the room: the space, the pace, the exits and the aftercare.

A format is presented as its authors made it, and credited to them.

Nothing said there is recorded or repeated without their agreement.
