COVID-19 Considerations
Theatrical Intimacy Education will follow all CDC and local recommendations as they develop to the best of our ability. By registering, participants acknowledge that all gatherings carry some degree of risk and they agree not to hold Theatrical Intimacy Education, our contractors, or our host organizations cannot be held liable for those risk factors from COVID-19 or any other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Masks and any other PPE are always welcome in TIE spaces.
As part of our continued effort to keep workshops accessible and to mitigate the risk of COVID-19, participants acknowledge that TIE may choose to require the following as the workshop date approaches:
Take a Rapid Antigen Test (Provided) at check-in on day 1 of their Workshop Weekend and/or
Wear a high-quality mask (n-95, KN-95, or equivalent) for the duration of the workshop (extras will be provided) and/or
Complete a symptom tracking form and confirm that you are free of COVID-19 symptoms and/or
Upload proof of full COVID-19 vaccination including any recommended boosters to a link provided within 7 days of registration and again two weeks before the workshop and/or
Participate in any other CDC or local government recommended risk mitigation.
If you cannot attend the Workshop Weekend due to a COVID-19 diagnosis or exposure, you will receive a credit worth 50% of your paid registration cost for future workshops. If you choose not to participate in required mitigation as recommended by local, state, or federal health officials, you will be eligible for credit worth 50% of your paid registration cost for future workshops.
Curriculum Overlap
This workshop covers much of the same material covered in TIE’s Best Practices and Theatrical Studio Techniques Digital Workshops (and so much more!). Participants who have attended a Workshop Weekend after completing both digital workshops have shared that they learned an enormous amount from the hands-on learning, activities, Q&A sessions, and real-time feedback!
There is no pre-requisite for a TIE Workshop Weekend and this workshop satisfies the Best Practices/Workshop Weekend pre-requisite requirement for other TIE workshops.
Transfers/ Exchanges for Credit
If TIE postpones or cancels the workshop, all participants will receive their full registration cost paid to TIE as credit towards future workshops or registration credit for a future Workshop Weekend.
In all other circumstances, TIE does not offer refunds for workshops. If you are unable to attend, you may request an exchange for credit or a transfer to another workshop 14-days prior to the workshop weekend for a small administrative fee. We are unable to honor requests made within 14 days of in-person workshops. Click here to begin the transfer or exchange process.
