Contract for Theatre for Children

In our first session for Theatre for Children we were put into our groups through random selection, once we were in our groups we had to create a contract that will be followed throughout the devising process. We are not just a group of students, but a company of actors that will g out to take our piece of theatre out to local schools. This means that a contract is vital to ensuring we are able to work effectively as a company.

Contract For Children’s Theatre

·        All members of the company must give at least two hours notice if they are going to be late or absent from rehearsal.

·        If a member of the company is absent from three rehearsals without a valid reason then they will be removed from the company.

·        All members must contribute ideas to the devising process.

·        Everyone must be treated with respect.

·        No swearing or foul language during the rehearsal process.

·        No consumption of energy drinks, with exceptions to long rehearsal days.

·        Responsibilities should never be left to one person, all members must work together to create our piece of theatre. Don’t push all the stress onto one lone person.

·        In rehearsals all must be focused and distractions, such as phones, are not to be used.

·        All decisions need to be made as a group, and must be reached by a fair agreement.

·        All outside distractions are to be left outside of rehearsals, so as not to disrupt the working atmosphere. 

Once the contract was signed by all members of the company we can then reinforce the rules to ensure we work efficiently and effectively as a group.

Our company is called: Krooked Theatre

The members: Luke, Ola, Matthew, Shiquerra, Samantha and myself.
