16yr olds in the industry
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:10 am
Hello all,
I have a daughter who has worked professionally in the industry theatre and screen since she was 10yrs old so I am used to the chaperone/licence scenarios. Although initially delighted that she is about to come out of licensing I am now having a wee panic about her booking jobs - will she be treated as an adult in as much as booked into hotels alone etc with no supervision - we have always had chaperones or one of us with her and it seems a huge leap to fly solo at just 16yrs particularly on overseas projects. To be fair we would probably accompany her at our own cost where possible - not on set but at hotels etc - does anyone have any experience or advice they can share - thanks so much.
