Have you encountered a serial bully, hugger, joker, kisser, or groper? Join us for an evening of interactive training, using improv actors to demonstrate the all too common scenarios encountered in the entertainment business and what constitutes proper conduct. We will assist individuals to identify behaviors that create or contribute to unlawful bullying, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation by offering information on how to assist in preventing and responding to incidents in the workplace.
The evening will give participants the opportunity to raise issues and learn how to work through them in real time. The evening will outline standards of conduct for the Producing Team, as well as, independent production companies in order to create a top-down climate of conduct for all. Attendees will learn how to handle situations that may occur during a production period, through demonstrated realistic scenes similar to those on set and in the office. The training is not to be missed and will create an invaluable lesson for all!
Ivy Kagan Bierman, an entertainment industry expert on workplace cultural issues, will conduct the training, which will include situational performances by the People’s Improv Theater based on the scenarios important to the audience-at-large.
Special thanks to SAG-AFTRA and the Women’s Impact Network.
