EQUITY ANNOUNCES THE INDIE 2.2
--------------------
After consultation with the membership and specific outreach to those
members who worked under the INDIE 2.1, Equity is pleased to launch the new
INDIE 2.2. Several changes have been made in response to issues brought
forward by members.

•  The Theatre now has the ability to call an Artist for a photo shoot prior
to the start date for the production
•  The INDIE 2.2 now includes recognition of the challenges when touring to
the Canadian North
•  There is a new requirement to provide a clearer breakdown of deductions
with payment to the Artist, and language regarding deductions for
non-members has been clarified
•  A new provision allows the Theatre to now prorate the first and last
weeks of engagement
•  The INDIE 2.2 weekly minimum fee has increased to $600 or $300 when there
is a revenue-sharing agreement. This is an increase of $20 and $10
respectively, as there has been no increase to these fees for a number of
years now.
•  The length of the policy has been extended to three years. The INDIE 2.2
will next be reviewed in 2019.

INDIE 2.2.

Please don't hesitate to contact Equity if you have any questions or
comments about these changes (agreements at caea.com). We look forward to the
INDIE 2.2 continuing to support small-scale, independent theatre in Canada.
