Communication Guidelines and Templates

Returning to Studio 

Returning to Studio: Organizations need to have a plan to address non-employees who refuse to comply with any screenings required by the organization. 

Mask Policy Templates:

Talking to people who refuse to wear masks:

Waivers, Screening, Testing

Responsible Parties may choose to implement mandatory daily health screening practices for employees, patrons, and, where practicable, contractors and vendors. Understand that a waiver doesn’t eliminate employer responsibility, Responsible Parties may choose to have artists (teaching artists or dancers rehearsing) sign a statement saying that they have read the safety protocols being undertaken, are comfortable teaching/joining rehearsals, and if at any time they are not comfortable, they are free to leave without losing payment. Keep in mind the difference when it comes to dancers (union vs. non unionized). Waivers may not have legal standing in court. 

Screening and Testing:

  • The sign-in process may be conducted through any means that the Responsible Parties establish to collect the above contact information, including but not limited to a digital application, barcode reader, swipe card reader, and/or paper form.
