Terms of Service-
Zoom Workshop Agreement
1. In the interests of privacy the zoom meeting digital link, ID and password will be provided to each student 48 days before the event.
2. Meeting details must not be shared publicly or with third parties and are for the booked/invited student only.
3. It is the student's responsibility to make sure that they have received the meeting link prior to the workshop.
4. Only the individual who’s name is submitted during the booking process can take part in the zoom workshop.
5. Workshop places are only currently offered to students who are aged 18 and above, there is no upper age limit.
6. So that students can feel safe and secure as they practice, learn and make mistakes, filming, recording, including audio recordings of the workshop are prohibited.
7. No permissions will be granted by a tutor or workshop participating students, to allow use of their image, likeness or voice in any such recordings.
8. Teaching strategies, work sheets, files, scripts and materials are subject to copyright and cannot be shared.
9. It is expected that an individual joins in with the workshop exercises. However, if there are exercises that a student actor does not feel comfortable with, then they can request to observe that exercise undertaken by other students, without pressure from the tutor.
10. If you have issues with sight-reading we suggest that you make this known during booking, so that tutors can tailor the event and develop a specific teaching approach for you.
11. Some script files will be sent in the following ways, 48 hours prior to the workshop ( script file pack & instructions ), 15 minutes prior to the workshop and other files during the workshop, to mimic real cold reading scenarios. Files will always be sent as pdf’s. Tutors will give students opportunity to print scripts and specific instructions per script, prior to each read. In some situations they will ask you not to pre-read scripts, so that you are unrehearsed and practice cold reading in real time without pre-knowledge. If you wish to cold read your script from a digital device or desktop during the workshop you may do so. It is a student’s responsibility to assure they have received their script file pack.
12. An additional 1 hour of private coaching and feedback is included in the workshop fee and is available for every participating student after the initial workshop has taken place. Feedback is based upon your performance within the zoom workshop and must be taken within 3 weeks of the workshop session, to maximise both the student and tutor’s memory of the event. Tutors will begin writing feedback notes immediately after the workshop in preparation for private coaching. This additional 1 hour session will be arranged at a mutually convenient time between student and tutor.
13. If feedback requires further cold reading practice, then tutors may provide another actor within the private coaching feedback session, to facilitate reading in for other characters, so that the tutor can focus on the student’s performance. This will be dependant on the type of feedback that is necessary.
14. Filming or recording of private coaching sessions is prohibited.
15. Private coaching feedback sessions are non transferable and have no cash in value for sessions not taken.
16. Minimum size main zoom workshop is 2 students, maximum 16.

20. If a student misses their booked workshop and or private coaching session, they may be given the opportunity to take part in a future session.
21. If a student experiences technical problems, the tutor will ask them to keep attempting to join the zoom workshop, up until 30mins into the workshop session. After which if a student has been unable to join the meeting, the tutor will arrange an alternative for the student after the workshop has completed.
22. If a tutor experiences technical problems- they will attempt to keep trying - this may mean that a workshop session runs over, as the tutor attempts to make up the time. Please allocate further time after 2pm, to accommodate this possibility. In the unlikely event that a tutor experiences technical issues, meaning that a workshop cannot go ahead and all efforts have been made to undertake the workshop, then a future time and date will be made available.
