Tips for Booking Rooms
- Studios are locked most of the time. Rehearsal Rooms are never locked. The exception is Room 1T20, which is sometimes locked and sometimes not. if you have it booked and it is locked, please take your confirmation to the Department office 3T03 (during office hours) or Security (outside office hours).
- The needs of classes, faculty, and the department always take priority over those of individuals. Though we try to avoid it, occasionally you may be bumped. Where possible, we will try to let you know about this ahead of time and provide an alternate space for your rehearsal.
- Please make every effort to book ahead; we suggest at least two working days’ notice, but require one working day for sure. Unfortunately, we cannot promise to fulfill your request if submitted at the last minute.
- We will try to meet your needs wherever possible; if you need a specific room or you must book at the last minute, please come to 3T03 in person to see if the booking is possible.
- Booking requests are processed in the order in which they come in, i.e. first come, first served.
- Rooms are booked by the hour or half hour only; do not ask to begin a rehearsal at, for example, 10:20 am.
- We try to honour specific requests, then will book from "best" to "worst" rooms, as availability permits. Please provide details of your requirements so we can find an appropriate room for you (eg. if you have a movement rehearsal we will try to put you in a large room with a sprung floor and mirrors).
- Rooms are available for booking from 8 am through 10 pm daily (except stat holidays when the university is closed). All students must be out of the building by 10:15 pm at the latest, unless you are working with a professor (or stage manager) and that person is with you in the room.
- If your request has been truncated or not all your requested dates are included, we were able to give you a room for only a portion of your requested time (something is better than nothing!).
- Each of the studios is equipped with a basic sound system to which you can hook up your computer or device. Instructions are on the Media Cabinet in each studio. The rehearsal rooms have no sound systems.
- If you have booked a room and find you are unable to use it, please cancel it (call 204-786-9955, drop into 3T03, or e-mail m.tallin@uwinnipeg.ca). Be sure to include specific details or the booking confirmation code in your communication. We have a large demand for rooms and may need the space for someone else.
Please see the Theatre/Film office in Room 3T03, call 204-786-9955 or e-mail m.tallin@uwinnipeg.ca if you have any questions.
