Quelle est la meilleure façon de gérer une crise qui affecte la santé de vos acteurs et de votre équipe ?

Gather all the information available and share facts right away to tamp down rumors. Inform your team of best practices and ask that they be followed to keep the issue contained. If possible, reach out to available actors/crew to step in for your affected people, if it comes to that. Above all, assure your people that your priority is everyone's health and safety -- and really mean it.

1. Immediately stopping any activity that could potentially put their health at risk. 2. Consulting with medical professionals to assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.

Illness in theater is often based on the working conditions in a production/theater. Often there are home-made problems: the insecurity of stage or theater directors who passes on their stress to the team. Actors are very sensitive, empathetic people who perceive the stress very closely and thus absorb additional stress. If this stress continues to grow, it can lead to burn out, mental&physical illness& nervous break downs. In these situations, it is important to switch gears immediately, isolate those causing this stress from production, ensure that the players a.o. get well again. In the meantime, you should try to develop solutions through discussions. A code of conduct could regulate that directors must prevent stress and not create it.

Experience is worth its weight in gold in the theater business. Even with stress-related illnesses, it is important to gain experience from these situations/processes. In such situations, I recommend setting up low-threshold codes of conduct, in the development of which the team and the actors should participate and contribute. Rules can be agreed on how certain stress and illness situations are dealt with and what measures are offered or initiated to develop protection. This is the most important tool for the artists: they can request protection at any time and have a conversation with the producer/theater director, who is responsible for ensuring that no one in the team is put at risk to their health.

1. Providing support and resources, such as medical care, counseling, and time off, to those affected. 2. Communicating openly and transparently with the cast and crew about the situation, the steps being taken to address it, and any changes to production schedules or protocols. 3. Reviewing and updating safety protocols and procedures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. 4. Working closely with insurance providers and legal representatives, if necessary, to address any claims or liabilities resulting from the crisis. Remember, the health and safety of your cast and crew should always be the top priority in any crisis situation.
