Class Etiquette
Or the LB Acting Studio Rules of the House
We’re all in this together
No Photos or Videos
Taking photos or recording during class time is prohibited unless permission is granted by the class coach.
INTERNAL RECORDING
Your coach will record class from time to time for the internal use of the studio, and they will let you know when this is happening.
No FOOD OR DRINK
No food or drink (except water) is allowed in the studios. You are welcome to use the waiting area if you need to eat during your break.
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
Any class materials are confidential and not to be copied, disseminated or shared outside of the use of LB Acting Studio.
If you need to leave the class early or will be arriving late for whatever reason,
please do so in between working actors so as not to disturb the class.
ACTRA Code of Ethics
The AACE (Association of Acting Coaches and Educators) is a committee of ACTRA that has formed to regulate and maintain a respectful learning environment that helps everyone – teachers, coaches, students and clients – to focus on their craft without fear of humiliation, harassment or discrimination.
LB Acting Studio and Lewis Baumander are honored to be one of the first acting studios to sign-on, and ACTRA has included Lewis as a central part of bringing this committee into being.
