Performers' rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a performer, every individual has certain rights. These basic rights include the right to obtain some remuneration for ones work, and to obtain information about how you (including your appearance) and other talents (acting, singing or other) may have been used in the final product.

Whilst one has individual performing rights, if you are asked by a producer or director to perform on their behalf, you (as a performer) should:

  • ensure you have a contract which clearly describes what benefit you will derive (before you begin your performance)
  • ensure that you're dealing with the correct party (watch for misrepresentations)
  • keep the information channels open (be pro-active)
