SPACE BOOKINGS

Goldsmiths Theatre has 6 studios (Studios 1-5, RHB 154), the George Wood Theatre, three workshops and a media suite. There is heavy usage of these spaces by students and staff. Please ensure that you leave enough time at the end of your session or rehearsal, to clean and tidy up. If you find that the space you have booked to use has not been tidied up, please report this to a member of the tech team. 

 

Students can self-book studios for rehearsals on Lore. Studios available on Lore are: 

  • Studio 1 

  • Studio 2 

  • Studio 3 

  • Studio 4 

  • Studio 5 

  • RHB 154 

You can only book studios on Lore (https://lore.gold.ac.uk/), once you have read, agreed and signed the Theatre Department Studio Use Policy document & Form (found on the MET VLE page) STUDIO USE - THEATRE STUDENTS ONLY – Fill out form. 

 

You are welcome to use the studios before classes begin and during lunch. During these times, the studios are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, if they have not been booked.  

 

Any booking requests for use of space beyond rehearsals, for example performances, events, fundraisers, workshops with external participants or any activities involving members of the public MUST be discussed with Patrick & Emily first, before a booking can be made.

Studios can be booked between the hours of: 

Weeknights 6 pm – 9 pm 

Saturdays 9 am – 9 pm 

Sunday 9 am – 5 pm. 

  

The following usage limits apply:  

  • Bookable in 3-hour slots 

  • Up to a maximum of 1 booking per week during term time 

  • Bookable 2 weeks in advance 

  • Room bookings can be cancelled via Lore, where possible give 12 hours’ notice so the technicians can make the room available again for others wishing to rehearse. Of course, illness, transport delays and emergency events may result in a student being unable to honour a room booking or cancel the booking via Lore. Please email Emily, Patrick & Ellie (when possible) if any of these mitigating circumstances apply. 

  • If a student does not show up within 15 minutes of the start time of their booking and another student wants the room, they will be allowed to use it. If the original student shows up after 15 minutes: 

    • If the room is still available, the booking can continue as planned. 

    • If the room has been taken, the booking is forfeited. 

    • If you have not shown up for a booking made on Lore (evenings/Saturdays/Sundays) for more than 15 minutes with no warning or communication, we reserve the right to cancel your booking to make it available for other students.

    After the 2nd email, students who continue to ‘No-Show’ their bookings will face a 7-day LORE suspension. This covers all spaces and services booked through LORE. 

  • The Theatre department reserves the right to cancel or move to another room, a student booking if the space is needed due to academic time-tabling or a clash with a departmental event/assessment etc. Students will be notified via Lore that their booking has been changed.
