Article 3: Respect, Inclusivity & Conduct at Alles is Drama

Alles is Drama is an inclusive association that takes great concern for the well-being of its members. To guarantee that this environment stays inclusive and that members treat each other with respect, any type of discrimination is not allowed within the organisation. This includes, but is not limited to age, gender, country of origin, nationality, disability, region, culture, sexual orientation, political opinion or race.

Bullying, excluding people, and (sexually) transgressive behaviours are very harmful. The victim usually has to deal with the consequences of this their whole life. No behaviour of this sort will be tolerated under any circumstance. Alles is Drama follows a zero-tolerance policy, when it comes to any type of discrimination, transgressive behaviour, or hostile actions aimed at members.

By sexually transgressive behaviour, we mean any form of unwanted verbal, non-verbal, or physical behaviour with a sexual connotation that has either as a goal or a consequence to hurt someone’s dignity, especially when a threatening, hostile, offensive, humiliating, or hurtful situation is created.
The breach of a person’s boundaries is up to the person harmed, not the person who has caused harm. 

Consent must be clear and mutual before engaging in any physical interaction. Unacceptable behaviour includes, but is not limited to, unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, inappropriate requests, non-consensual physical contact; ensuring respectful behaviour at all times. Clear communication and respect of personal boundaries are required verbally, especially when physical contact is necessary (e.g., during performances, rehearsals, improv, etc.), in the form of harassment based on sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or disability. 

Code of Conduct

Everyone active within Alles is Drama and associated events is expected to carefully read and adhere to the following code. They apply to members as well as to volunteers, interns, employees, and contractees.

Everyone is responsible for properly following the code of conduct. The board has the responsibility to keep track of this. It is also their responsibility to provide all members, employees, guests, and volunteers, with enough information to follow this code.

  • Within the association we treat each other with respect. We do not discriminate against others, exclude others, or bully others.

  • During our activities we use intoxicating substances responsibly. We do not use illegal drugs at events.

  • When we possess confidential information about members or each other, we treat this information with care. Confidential information means information about personal circumstances of members.

  • We respect each other's privacy, for example while getting dressed.

  • We check whether ‘trigger-scenes’ in our productions are acceptable to our members – members are never forced to participate in a production that is emotionally too taxing for them. When managing intimate scenes in performances, guidance should be discussed, decided on and followed with and by the people involved (including actors and director).

  • In case a member indicates that they are experiencing mental issues caused by the activities within our association, we refer them to a counsellor at university or to a general practitioner. *(see page 4 for more information on support resources)

  • Sexually transgressive behaviour is deemed unacceptable at Alles is Drama. Examples are unwanted remarks of sexual nature, unwanted touching, asking for sex, and making jokes of sexual nature about each other without consent. We are all responsible for immediately stopping this behaviour.

  • In case we see things within the association that we do not consider appropriate we directly report this to a contact person within the board.

  • We only participate in TV recordings, interviews by TV or newspapers, and political organizations about Alles is Drama if the board has agreed to it.

  • It is expected that we treat the materials we borrow from others with respect, and keep in mind the contract we have signed concerning said materials, regarding governmental regulations, safety regulations, and environmental regulations.

Reporting & Repercussions 

In case a member has a complaint, concern or wants to report an unwanted behaviour or offense, they talk to any board member or send an email to contact@allesisdrama.com. If the incident or concern is towards a board member, the president should be informed. If the concern or incident is towards the president, the vice president or any board member can be approached and confided in. If a member is not comfortable bringing this up to any board member, they can instead contact the Advisory Council (AC) at allesisdrama.ac@gmail.com. The board does not have access to this address, and the AC will treat the information confidentially and communicate to the board as wanted. Anonymous reporting to the board is also available via our website allesisdrama.com. 

Every report and concern will be handled privately and confidentially. Members will be ensured that their report and/or concern will not be used against them at any time. 

All information provided to the board will be held confidentially, with only the board of Alles is Drama having access to it.

Any offences that are known by the board of Alles is Drama, will be investigated on a case-by-case basis. A detailed incident report will also be made with the names stated. The names of the parties involved will be redacted when a new board has been appointed. Such a report can include an official warning. If wanted, the board of Alles is Drama also offers a mediated discussion with both parties in order to find a solution that works for everyone involved. 

Additionally, appropriate sanctions can be decided upon by the board of Alles is Drama. Potential sanctions include, the (forceful) removal of the offender from an Alles is Drama activity, the blacklisting of the individual from attending any of Alles is Drama’s future offerings, suspension of their membership for up to 3 months and the termination of their membership status.

Once a decision has been taken by the board of Alles is Drama, the affected member will be contacted via electronic means about their type of sanction and the reasoning behind it.

In the case the member has been suspended or had their membership terminated, the member has the right to appeal the decision within the general members assembly within one month of being notified. If an appeal has been made, a general members assembly will take place within 4 weeks. 

Note: A member cannot exercise their membership rights during the appeal process. 

Sexually transgressive behaviour directed towards minors which the board believes to be against the law will always be reported to the police.

Article 4: Course or Production Participation

To take part in a course you are required to have an Alles is Drama membership.

When signing up for one of the courses or productions offered, you will need to pay for the course or production to participate.

A member has the right to withdraw from a course after the first official class has taken place. To successfully do so the member needs to inform the contact person of that course or a board member about their decision. This can be done until 18:00 one day before the second rehearsal is taking place. It does not matter if the member was present during the first official class of the course or not, the same timeframe applies to everybody.

If the member has successfully informed a board member about their withdrawal from the course, they are eligible to have their course fee refunded. This process can take up to two weeks.

​

A member that signed up for a course or production and has not withdrawn in the given timeframe has the obligation to attend the course throughout the entire period of the course (usually 10 rehearsals) or production (usually 12-18 rehearsals) (the exact timeframe will be specified per course or production).

Recurring (non-excused) absences will be discussed with the director and sanctioned accordingly. Sanctions include revoking the right of participation in Alles is Drama’s course presentation “Revue Revue”, the removal of the member from that course, and the blacklisting of the member for future courses up to the removal of their membership status. If the sanction includes removing you from the course, you are not eligible for a refund. ​

Alles is Drama understands that you might not be able to attend all the course rehearsals, but it is our obligation as an association to create a positive and working atmosphere for our members, directors, and the board. To make our course work as intended, it is thus very important that members are attending the course.

Note: If you have missed three or more rehearsals (more than 25% of the course), this is considered a recurring absence. Once we have observed this kind of absence, the contact person of the course will reach out to the member in question about the future of the member's course participation and make a decision. All decisions made are done in consultation with the director in question and the board of Alles is Drama.  

Each course has a contact person from the board to facilitate communication within the course, and among the course participants, the director, and the board. 

​

Members can participate in as many courses as they like. However, this decision should be taken very carefully by the member (in discussion with the board if necessary), as regular attendance in each course is still expected. 

The rules above also apply to production rehearsals attendance.

Additionally, a board member is not allowed to take part in a production as an actor or (assistant) director.

A member can also only be in one production at a time (being in a production includes involvement as an actor or (assistant) director). This means that in the autumn semester, a member can only audition for one production. Similarly, if a member is cast in the ¾ production, they cannot audition for the semester production in the second semester.

A member is allowed to participate in courses next to the production. However, this decision should be taken very carefully by the member (in discussion with the board if necessary), as regular attendance in both the production rehearsals and each course is still expected.  

​
