The Australian Copyright Council has just released a new guide for anyone responsible for seeking permission and clearances. This may prove very relevant for Drama/Theatre teachings reading The Drama Teacher. It is a comprehensive, yet simple and easy to use guide perfect for practitioners in the field or education specialists and covers all the necessary information for plays/musicals, music in artistic works, images etc. The guide includes:

• when you need to seek permission
• the sorts of rights you’ll need to clear (e.g. moral rights as well as copyright)
• who to contact
• streamlining the permissions process
• dealing with common obstacles

I suspect every Drama teacher creating artistic works in Australia needs to have this guide on their bookshelf at work.

$40 including GST & delivery in Australia.
