E. UNSAFE THEATRES
1. The Employer agrees that Artists will not be requested or required to
rehearse or perform in any theater or other facility which is unsafe or unsanitary or which
contains a floor that is not a safe floor for dance. Artists shall not be required to rehearse or to
perform on any concrete or marble floors or upon any other inflexible surface, which is
considered unsafe or injurious to the dancers. Artists will not be required to rehearse or perform
upon any wooden floors, which are directly laid over similar surfaces lacking in safe dance
resiliency or on floors with irregular or uneven surfaces.
AGMA may advise the Employer of any theater that is unsafe or unsanitary or
that has a floor, which is unsafe or improperly constructed for dance, to the extent AGMA is
aware of such condition. If the Employer has concerns about the safety of a stage floor in which
it intends to perform, AGMA will attempt to investigate all aspects of the stage floor in question
to determine if it meets the requirements of a safe floor for dance. However, any such
investigation or determination shall not relieve the Employer of its responsibilities hereunder.
2. The Employer will see to it that the stage floor, where the Artists will
perform in the theatre, is made of suspended wood, and not concrete. Under no circumstance
will the Artists be required to perform on any flooring laid directly over concrete. Also, the
employer agrees to lay a sprung floor over stages in those domestic theaters that, from previous
experience and mutual Agreement, have proved to be uncomfortably hard except in cases of one
night stands. A committee comprised of the Stage Manager, AGMA Delegate(s), Artistic
Director and/or Associate Artistic Director will compile a list of such theaters with unacceptable
flooring. Delegates shall be notified whether there is a sprung floor and the repertoire to be
performed in each theater at least three (3) weeks before commencement of an international tour.
