Class Protocol and Policies - South Australia's leading Actors Agency

Class Protocol and Policies

The following policies and protocols ensure a safe learning environment for students and a clear understanding for school operations for parents and students

PROTOCOLS 

Lost Property

Actors Ink does not supply lockers for students. Please look after your valuables at all times or leave them at home if possible. Your bag and personal belongings should always be taken into the studio with you and left on the side of the room. Please remember to take everything with you after class. Actors Ink cannot take responsibility for anything left behind. A lost property box is located upstairs in the waiting room. 

 

Report Cards

Report cards are issued to every student at the completion of semester one. Students receive feedback on performance and progress in class.

 

General Auditions

Actors Ink conducts in-house general auditions twice a year for all Junior Youth, Youth and Senior Youth students. This is our way of monitoring each and every student’s progress and ability throughout their time here at Actors Ink; thus giving us the ability to assess what work they are suited for within the industry, and put them up for auditions.

 

Headshots  

Headshots are taken by Actors Ink for all students attending classes. These are taken twice a year to ensure they are current. Students are also informed that if at any time they change their appearance, it is imperative to advise us and to update their photo by sending a new one in. 

 

Off Site Performance – Term 4

Fourth term is a performance driven term for youth students (All classes 5 – 17 years) Student involvement in the end of year performance at an off-site theatre is encouraged, but not compulsory. There are no additional costs to students for the off-site performance (costs are included in term fees).

Students may be required to provide a simple costume or prop specific to their character / role in the performance. 

 

POLICIES 

1 TRY OUT CLASS POLICY

Actors Ink does not permit anyone to try out classes, for a number of reasons. It's essential for a students to form a bond and trust each other quickly so they can try new techniques within the class. Casual students, drop in or un familiar people dropping into class distracts students and prevents them trying new skills.

It is a distraction for students attending classes when strangers come in and watch. 

We would also like to think that our reputation is enough to convince new students to book into a class. 

2 MOBILE PHONES, PHOTOGRAPHY & FOOD

All mobile phones are to be switched off prior to the commencement of class. Filming or photography with a camera, mobile phone or video camera is prohibited, unless the teacher has asked the student to film a piece for educational purposes.
