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".
