[Organizers] Re: photography policy?

Hi Lisa, How do you handle situations where someone is taking pictures of the whole crowd if you have minors dancing? Do you not allow people under 18 to attend your dance without a responsible adult?

It was very frustrating that while the Board was arguing about this stuff pictures of our dances from random dancers were turning up on FB with no concern for privacy. We eventually concluded that if we were going to take publicity photos we'd let people know beforehand, announce what dance in the evening we were going to do it in, and let people sit down or leave the room for that one dance. photography without draconian measures like searches at the door and confiscating all the cellphones. just have a preference to people for whom it's a matter of survival - those who have fled violent abusers or who are, say, in witness protection. You cannot guarantee their safety and they need to understand that you can do at most a best-effort attempt. signage at the desk about not photographing outside of that line, but people will still miss or forget the signage, so organizers have to keep an eye on it and announcements have to be made, which may on any given night be for the benefit of people who aren't there. That might be effective in that people reviewing images before sharing them will see a reminder in the picture, but it's not likely to be useful for people who livestream a minute of your dance. organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> policies done. dancers do not want to appear in any photos or videos. up with that you're willing to share? organizers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
