Supernumeraries. The function of a "Supernumerary" is to provide atmosphere and/or background requiring no special theatrical skill or training. Supernumeraries may not sing, speak, or dance. However, Supernumeraries may perform in limited dance sequences requiring no previous theatrical experience. Supernumeraries may not be members of Equity or any other professional performing artists’ union or association. All Supernumeraries must be signed to a non-professional affidavit, to be filed with Equity. Notwithstanding the above, upon written request from the National Ballet of Canada, Equity will, on a case by case basis, consider "celebrities" who have professional affiliation to be allowed to participate in “The Nutcracker" as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dolls without joining Equity or being signed to a NBCA engagement contract.
