15 CODE OF CONDUCT The faculty of the Division of Fine Arts wishes to instill the highest level of discipline and professionalism in future artists. In that spirit, we have adopted the following: AN ARTIST S CODE OF CONDUCT: I will honor my personal creativity by expressing myself to the greatest ability. I am an integral part of the creative process and will function as an inventive collaborator. There is a time to give creative input and a time to take notes. I will learn the difference. I will take direction and constructive criticism from my director, teacher, or supervisor in the spirit they are given, knowing they serve to help me become a more powerful presence on stage or in the classroom. I will be emotionally ready and physically prepared to work when rehearsal or class begins. I will bring solutions, not problems to every rehearsal and class project. Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art. Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. Never come into the theatre or classroom with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles, petty difficulties with your outside clothing -- all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art -- at the door. -Konstantin Stanislavski- 15
