ATTITUDE, COMMUNICATION & ATTENDENCE

Try not to take anything personal.  We are here to help and guide you, not harm you and to make your time here a positive, challenging, and inspirational. Please be positive and friendly to everyone in class.  

Be professional, your scene partners are relying on you! Don't be noisy or disrupt the other students while they are working. Communication is key and expected from you at all times. If you have any issue or need clarification of any kind it is your responsibility to communicate with the instructor during, after or before class. We will set aside time for you. Your willingness to learn and and out of your comfort zone is key and will be instrumental in your learning.

​

SAFETY AND WEAPONS 

If your classes are at night, please go out in pairs for safety reasons.

Under no circumstances are weapons of any kind  allowed in the studio.

If a fake weapon is to be used in a scene this needs to be cleared prior with the instructor.

​

BE ON TIME AND BE RESPONSIBLE

You are expected to be on time (every time) and stay until the end of class.  Arrive 5-10 minutes before your class begins.  If you think you will be late or absent you are expected to let your instructor know via text or voice call. Absences and /or coming in late repeatedly is disturbing to class and unprofessional and may result in you being dropped from the class.
