DEFINITION OF CHORISTERS AND CORPS DANCERS Sample Clauses

DEFINITION OF CHORISTERS AND CORPS DANCERS. 1. A CHORISTER is required to perform singing, acting and movement duties. The singing duties are indicated in the score. The acting and movement duties are the artistic prerogative of the STAGE DIRECTOR, movement coach, fight director or CHOREOGRAPHER assembled to create the physical production. 2. The CHORISTER is expected, to the best of the CHORISTER’s ability, to learn the movement required by the artistic team. It may be necessary for the artistic team to familiarize themselves with those CHORISTERS who are best able to carry out specific requirements (i.e., acting ability, strength, movement abilities, ability to stand perfectly still, ability to march, ballroom dance ability, etc.) by having the CHORISTERS demonstrate those abilities during a paid rehearsal. This should not be interpreted as an audition since the CHORISTER is already contracted. 3. Only an individual hired as a dancer may be called upon to perform specialized dance choreography, feats requiring specific training (e.g., lifts), or choreographed movement to which the ARTIST brings professional movement training, expertise, and experience. The EMPLOYER agrees to engage professional dancers in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and when repertory selection and/or artistic prerogative dictates the use of professional dancers. 4. In a chorus scene, fifty percent (50%) or more of the chorus may perform basic dance (e.g., ballroom, folk, square, minuet) that requires three (3) hours or less to set, when necessary for artistic reasons. If less than fifty percent (50%) of the chorus performs basic dance, or if more than three hours of rehearsal is required, the CHORISTERS who dance shall be compensated at one and a half (1.5) times the applicable performance rate.
