Standards of practice

Here are some ways producers and directors can support environments where culture of consent is the norm.

Provide all cast and crew with;

  • Consent practice workshops for creatives prior to rehearsal commencing.  All artists to use consent to touch practices. Withdrawal of consent is another creative opportunity.

  • Contracts that; Define any exposure or intimacy, consent, and inappropriate touch clearly and specifically.

  • Clear, clinical, and specific communication regarding body parts to be exposed, touched, grabbed or engaged with.

  • Professional language - Desexualise processes and avoid innuendo and unprofessional opinions not related to the work.

  • Recognise the power imbalance - Artists will say yes to keep a job, so provide artists and crew with a personal liaison regarding discomforts.

  • Describe and display on yourself but never touch artists.

  • Responsibilities of Lead actors/Artists to lead in best practice off stage as well as on. Rehearsal practices. Lines of support and communication

  • Follow standard industry practice guidelines
