PURPOSE
The Declaration of Work & Statement of Circumstance document serves as a formal and transparent instrument for directors to declare the origin of creative works produced under their guidance. It is designed to promote integrity and accountability within the realm of artistic production, ensuring that the origins and sources of creative content are accurately documented and attributed. By providing a clear framework for directors to assert the authenticity and origins of their work, this document fosters trust among collaborators, stakeholders, and audiences while upholding the principles of ethical and responsible creative expression.

PRODUCTION TEAM
The production team is any and everyone that is responsible for the preparation and creation of a production. This will include the directors (lead, assistant, music, etc.), designers (scenic, costume, props, puppetry, lighting, sound, projection, video, etc.), choreographers (dance, movement, stage combat, etc.), composers, etc. Use the description box to explain any circumstances specific to your program.
Notes: 1.) If using groups, you do not have to name everyone in the group (e.g. Army of Parent Volunteers; Theatre 3 Class Students). 2.) When choosing which group to attribute work to, choose the most relevant group and add notes in the description box to add any clarification you feel is necessary.
BUILD CREW
The build crew is any and everyone that is responsible for building the needed elements of the production. This can include many (if not all) of the same people who were on the direction team. It may also include parent volunteers, other teachers in your school, or paid professionals who were hired to complete a job (build set pieces, construct costumes, create puppets, etc.).
This should also include rental companies or other organizations that rent or loan their stock. Use the description box to explain any circumstances specific to your program.
Note: You do not need to declare pieces that were purchased from retail outlets.
