Five more things we are ensuring:
- We are taking proactive steps to encourage audiences to support the safety of the event. We will be discouraging activities which can create aerosol (such as shouting, chanting and singing along), seat individuals rather than allowing them to stand to help maintain social distancing, clearly communicate that individuals who should be isolating should not attend, and provide information on how the event will run.
- We will limit the number of audience members so that capacity is at a level that allows social distancing to be maintained. From 14 September venues will need to ensure that groups of up to 6 in the audience are kept separate from one another to ensure they do not mix and do not exceed the new legal limits. To note, groups from the same support bubble (i.e. one household or two linked households) may exceed six and therefore sit together.
- Limit the number of performers as far as possible and use teams, groups or partnering to reduce the number of people individuals who have contact with, for example, where social distancing may be impractical (such as intimate or fighting scenes in theatre, dancing, costume fitting, hair and make-up). We will be doing our very best to ensure the safety of everyone and this may include the creation of bubbles, teams, working groups or partnering.
- Limit the duration of opportunities for social interaction as far as possible, including rehearsals and performances.
- Encourage working outdoors or remotely and following outdoor events guidance and or online safeguarding protocols.
