The Supporting Artists Network is here to empower Supporting Artists in Equity to organise and recruit their peers to fight for prompt payment, not paying exploitative commission and the long-term strategy of raising pay and conditions.
It is time for Supporting Artists to mobilise their numbers and be treated as the professionals they are, not hobbyists who should be grateful to be working long days in all weathers, providing their own transport and costume with no guarantee that work will not be cancelled the night before.
Supporting Artists are skilled, experienced performers without whom the dramas on our screens would look unnaturally empty and unbelievable. Every Supporting Artist deserves dignity and protection in the workplace.
Join us in establishing the Supporting Artists Network, help make the changes to the industry that Supporting Artists want and deserve!
