Breaks Between Performances Clause Samples
The 'Breaks Between Performances' clause defines the rules and expectations regarding rest periods or intervals between scheduled performances. Typically, this clause specifies the minimum duration of breaks, the frequency with which they must occur, and any conditions under which additional breaks may be required, such as for longer shows or physically demanding acts. Its core practical function is to ensure performers have adequate time to rest and recover, thereby promoting health, safety, and sustained performance quality throughout an engagement.
Breaks Between Performances. During the Performance Period there must be a break of at least 30 minutes between curtain down on one performance and curtain up on the next performance.
Breaks Between Performances. (A) The break between performances shall be no less than one (1) hour (excluding the half-hour call). But in the event that the break is less than one (1) hour, excluding the half-hour call, the Artist shall be compensated therefor as follows:
(1) For the invasion of the first half (1/2) hour or part thereof, the Theatre shall provide and pay for a full dinner for the Artist or the Theatre may pay the Artist twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) should the Artist choose.
(2) For the invasion of the second half (1/2) hour or part thereof, the Theatre shall pay twenty-five dollars and seventy-five cents ($25.75) to the Artist in addition to (1) above.

For the invasion of the one (1) hour break, the Theatre shall pay thirty-one dollars ($31 .00) to the Artist. The overtime rates provided for in Clause 1414 shall apply when either the four-and-a-half (4%) hour or five (5) hour time span is exceeded. No more than five (5) performances may be given in any three (3) consecutive day period, unless that Artist is paid an additional two-eighths (2/8) of his/her weekly contractual fee for each performance in excess of five (5) in any such three (3) consecutive day period. There shall be no performances on the free day, except as provided for in Clause 601.
