Task 5A: Ethics in My Work Place

Auditions

• What I have noticed about auditions is that everyone has different opinions of how the audition went and how it was for them.  I have therefore come to the conclusion that just because someone didn't like the audition wether it be about the panel judging or the structure you have to make your mind up yourself.  I might really enjoy an audition and someone else may hate it.

• Be considerate to other dancers - have your own space and make sure that you are aware of other dancers.

• Sometimes auditions do not go as well as you would like, you therefore have to be positive and sincere until you leave the room, you don't want to embarrass yourself

• Be well prepared - if your not sure what the audition is about, bring everything sheet music, dance wear shoes therefore nothing can go wrong.

• Take note of the audition criteria - don't go to an audition that asks for 5ft 7in blonde when you are 5ft 3in - theres a reason for this and it is a wast of yours and their time.

Promotion

• Showreels - This can be quite tricky depending on your content of your showreel and if it was filmed by a company.  If it is you then have to ask permission to use the content as you don't want to be sued for copyright.

Agents

• Always be polite - your agent is probably doing the best for you, if they are putting you up for jobs you don't want, ask them in a polite manner, they want you to get a job as much as you want.
