Can an equity member perform with a dance company that is non union or union?
Also what about child broadway performers, can they perform in dance studio performances after they've become equity members? I know trent kowalik performed as a student in ABTs nutcracker so I assume its ok but I wasn't sure if some sort of special exception had to be made.

Posted: 4/6/11 at 11:32pmYes. Dance performance is not under Equity's jurisdiction. The Broadway productions of COME FLY AWAY and SWING were not Equity contracts. AGVA if i'm not mistaken.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

For example, if a student who is a member of AEA is getting a BFA or studying acting, MT, etc, s/he can participate in the school's productions. I think AEA kids can do Stagedoor Manor, as it's considered training, but they can't do a community theatre production.

Posted: 4/7/11 at 12:51amCome Fly Away and Movin' Out were both on AGMA contracts. Equity members can apply for an "educational waiver" if they're in a school or university production. Any child actor under the age of fourteen can go on "juvenile withdrawal" and do non-equity work until they turn fourteen.
