Attendance/Participation:

This class is an experiential style class and you must be present to learn. Because this is a studio course, the classes you miss cannot truly be made up. I am aware that sickness and other emergencies do occur. Please email myself and a partner if your absence directly impacts their work for the day.

You have three absences at your discretion. Each absence after three will drop your grade one letter.

Tardiness is unprofessional in rehearsal or in class. Sometimes, life happens! After three late arrivals it will be considered one absence.

The expectation is that you will arrive early, and be prepared to begin at the start time.
