You wouldn’t think that being an artist is that dangerous, but you would be wrong. Performers are actually putting themselves at risk every day, with every single training session and every single performance. Whether they are dancers, wire walkers, bands or groups on tour, or even fire breathers, they are all doing something potentially dangerous, and they need insurance.

In fact, even music teachers, actors, or singers need insurance – why? Because, if they lose the ability to do their job, they need to be covered. Any line of work can be risky, and when your entire livelihood depends on your ability to perform, you bet that you have to insure yourself, just in case.
You never know what’s going to happen. One minute, you are performing your act, and the next, something terrible has happened. Well, when the unfortunate and unforeseeable does happen, you have to be prepared. This means potential legal fees, liability, claims against you, etc.

What kind of insurance do you need?

Depending on your job, you may need several different types of insurance. Ask yourself some questions: do you work alone, or with a partner or team? How dangerous is your work? Are you engaging in stunts? Can you sustain yourself doing something else, in the case of an accident? How often do you engage in risky behaviour? How high is your potential for liability? Do you use any tools or equipment, such as musical instruments?
