## Applied Improvisation - An Introduction to Status! [CLICK HERE TO BOOK](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/applied-improvisation-an-introduction-to-status-tickets-1983156873594) This two-hour practical workshop offers a focused introduction to status as articulated by Keith Johnstone, one of the most influential figures in modern improvisation and theatre training. Status, in Johnstone’s framework, is not about social class or fixed hierarchy. It is the constantly shifting set of behavioural signals—physical, vocal and psychological—that shape relationships moment by moment. In this session, participants will explore how status transactions operate beneath everyday interactions, influencing confidence, tension, humour, authority and connection. Through structured exercises, you will investigate how subtle changes in posture, eye contact, tempo, gesture and language alter perceived status. Designed for everyone interested in human interaction, the workshop combines experiential practice with concise analytical reflection. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, plenty of laughter, and practical takeaways. If you’re curious, open-minded, and up for trying something different, you’ll fit right in. **No experience needed. Just bring yourself.** **COST:** £15.00 (inclusive of Eventbrite Booking Fee) [CLICK HERE TO BOOK](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/applied-improvisation-an-introduction-to-status-tickets-1983156873594) **VENUE:** Old Diorama Arts Centre, 201 Drummond Street, Regent's Place, London, NW1 3FE **NEAREST STATIONS**: Warren Street, Euston Square, Great Portland Street This session will be led by **Dave Bourn** founder of Sprout Ideas who teaches improvisation, devising, and creativity at University & Drama Schools.

Disguised as the perfect candidate to try and snag a position in a company where they can espionage away! Recruitment is the first point of contact for all candidates so in this talk I will go over how I recognise fraudulent candidates without descending into unfounded bias. I’ll go over some recent examples and give some practical guidance of what you can do if you are not sure that the person opposite you is who they say they are. **"Vesta Admin Takeover - Exploiting reduced seed entropy in bash $RANDOM" - Adrian Tiron** Vesta is a lightweight, web-based control panel that simplifies Linux server management, appealing to users seeking an intuitive alternative to traditional platforms like cPanel and Plesk. This presentation will examine a critical flaw in Vesta: an admin takeover exploit resulting from reduced seed entropy in the Bash $RANDOM variable. By transforming what was once a theoretical attack into a practical one, we successfully reduced the brute force domain of the seed by over 98%. This allows attackers to generate predictable random values, compromising the security of passwords and tokens. We will discuss the implications of this vulnerability and highlight best practices for enhancing server security in real-world applications. **"Securing AI Agents: Identity Strategies for Safe API Access"** **\- Gary Archer** As organizations adopt AI-driven tools and workflows, new security challenges arise around how AI agents securely access APIs. In this session, Gary explores how best practices for connecting AI agents to APIs are evolving, and outlines the essential identity and security building blocks organizations should put in place for the emerging AI era. The talk focuses on architectural principles and patterns rather than specific vendors or products. **SPEAKERS:** **Mariya Hristova** A People and Talent Leader who has been building tech teams across large orgs and startups for 10 years. An enthusiastic amateur in all things tech, but with a personal crusade to help improve UX and UI in open source tools. If we want to usher in the year of the penguin, we have to pay attention to that stuff! In my spare time I like to break HR Tech or volunteer my time and knowledge to help companies and candidates/employees meet each other in right way. **Adrian Tiron** Adrian Tiron is a Co-Founder & Principal Pentester/Red Teamer at FORTBRIDGE with 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He has a proven track record of success working with top companies in the UK, US, and Europe. As a dedicated researcher and blog author, Adrian has uncovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in open-source and commercial software, contributing significantly to improving online security. **Gary Archer** Gary Archer is a Product Marketing Engineer at Curity with over 20 years’ experience as a lead developer and architect delivering investment banking solutions.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio.
