REHEARSAL POLICIES
Payment for rehearsal rental is due at time of use (or in advance) for each slot booked. Checks or cash (exact change) are accepted.
You MUST make a careful note of which of our two studios you are booked in when reserving space.
There is a one-week cancellation policy (i.e. to cancel next Sat's reh, you must cancel by phone or email by the previous Sat. Best to both call AND email to ensure your cancellation has been rec'd.) In the event that deadline is not met, renter is responsible for full payment of time booked. MOVING, SWITCHING, OR CUTTING DOWN YOUR TIME WITH LESS THAN A WEEK'S NOTICE DOES NOT WAIVE YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR YOUR CANCELLED OR MISSED SLOT OR THAT PORTION OF IT. We will always try to rebook any slot you've cancelled or changed late to save you the money, but if we are unable to, you must pay for it.
Renter understands that rates are different for auditions, showings (even informal ones), photo and video shoots and agrees to use space for rehearsal only unless permission has been given by mgmt and appropriate payment has been made for such use.
There is a $10 key payment for EACH studio. THIS IS NO LONGER A DEPOSIT. IT'S A ONE-TIME FEE FOR NEW RENTERS 2008 ON.
When leaving, renter must turn off all lights, heater, (in winter), Fans (in summer) and lock all doors.

TIPS ON PROTECTING yourselves, the studios AND MAINTAINING A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH TRISKELION.
Your safety and security is of the utmost importance to us. Always lock yourselves into the studio. If you rehearse at night, be sure to secure the door to the 3rd Floor after 6pm, by making sure its closed. Be sure your dancers have a cell phone number to contact you upon their arrival, as under no circumstances should you prop the door to the third floor open and there is no buzzer on street level or on the 3rd floor. Your key to the third floor door is the only way in, when locked. Renters DO NOT have the code for the keypad to this door.
If something is wrong, i.e. the heat isn't working or you've locked yourself out of the studio or a similar problem, and there are no staff in the office, please contact our emergency number immediately, posted inside the studio. Abby's number is also posted on the 3rd floor door.
Our cancellation policy is one-week, but we ask that you alert us to cancellations even sooner if possible, to allow for re-booking. Rental income is how our doors stay open to you!
Stuff happens. If you accidentally break equipment, smash a mirror, or put a hole in the wall, please be honest with us and we will reach a fair agreement and promise not to bite BUT PLEASE don't keep it to yourselves and make us suspicious of everyone.
If you book a studio that you dont have keys for, its your responsibility to arrange to get them at least a week prior to your rehearsal.
When using Studio A, be very careful not to lock yourselves out when exiting to use the restroom! You must unlock the lower manual lock by the studio back door!
When in doubt, ask. Please do not ever assume that it is okay to use equipment, props, etc. you see in the space, without express clearance from the management. Anyone found using our sound or lighting equipment without permission will be charged for it.
Don't lose your keys! In a pinch, phone us at our emergency number--but there is no guarantee that a staff member will be on-hand to let you in to the space. If you lose your keys, you must pay another key deposit for a 2nd set and you are responsible for paying for the space you booked even if you lose your keys.
Do not consider any rehearsal booked until you've spoken directly with a staff member or a staff member has left word with you expressly stating confirmation of booking, (not simply stating that the time you requested is available and asking that you return their call.)
Show respect for the bathrooms, hallways, and other businesses on the floor by keeping them clean, keeping your noise within the studio's walls and not leaving personal items behind you.
Payments must be made at time of use. If youve accidentally forgotten to pay, just let us know so we dont stalk you. If you have long-term outstanding balances, we cannot rent future space to you until youve paid. Please put all payments, even checks, in envelopes clearly marked with your name, date, time of use, and which studio and drop through office mail slot. WRITE OUR NAME CAREFULLY ON YOUR CHECKS TRISKELION ARTS and do not make any cross-outs on them, even initialed ones. Checks may be returned from our bank and youll be accountable for any related fees.
As rehearsals are booked back to back, dont enter until your designated slot and please vacate by its end. If you stay even fifteen minutes late, please pay for it. thanks.
Windows in studio B must be closed and locked before you leave and all folding chairs put away. Turn heat off in Studio B and down to 55 in A when youre done.
Prop and set storage not allowed.
Triskelion reserves the right to enter the studio (to retrieve equipment or quietly show the space to new renters) during ANY rehearsal booked.
The back wall in Studio A is NOT weight-bearing. Renters agree not to hurl themselves into it...please.
Keep your contact information updated with us. If you move or change your phone or email address, be sure to let us know.
Try to come to a fair and friendly resolution when and if a double-booking conflict occurs and there is no staff member on hand to confirm which party is in error.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
