ACTRA Additional Background Performers
The ACTRA Additional Background Performer (AABP) Caucus is responsible for giving background performers (who are not Full or Apprentice members) a voice within the union and the ability to work together to improve the terms and conditions of their work through collective action.
The elected Chairperson, Vice-chair and Secretary of the Caucus are responsible for representing ACTRA Additional Background Performers within the councils of ACTRA and for administering the work of the caucus.
Your Additional Background Committee meets monthly in the ACTRA Toronto offices and all interested ACTRA Additional Background Performers are welcome to attend as observers. To confirm the exact date and time of the next meeting, please contact one of the executive members.
