Details and conditions: reading practice set 4

Guests attending the dress rehearsal must enter and take their seats before the lights dim. The seats beside the control desk are reserved for the production team, even when they appear empty. Please keep cameras put away during the run. After the final scene, the director will announce a short period for photographs while the actors remain onstage. Leaving the auditorium during the run is permitted, but reentry must wait until the next announced pause.

The mount list gives two measurements for each option. The window size describes the opening through which the picture will be seen; the outer size describes the whole mount that must fit inside the frame. For this display, choose a window that shows the required part of the picture and an outer size that fits the assigned frame. A backing board is not included with the mount and must be ordered separately. A correct window size does not guarantee that the mount’s outer edges will fit.

The upper cliff route remains open throughout the posted visiting hours. The lower path closes whenever the tide board shows HIGH WATER; visitors should use the upper route during that closure. During guided visits, the connecting stair is used only for climbing from the lower path to the upper route. A guide’s presence does not reopen the lower path at high water. Notices at both stair entrances show when guided visits are in progress.

Proposals for the courtyard’s temporary installation must include a sketch and a plan for removing every part when the display ends. Structures requiring permanent foundations will not be considered. Applicants should describe how the installation can stand within the marked area, using the dimensions supplied with this notice. The selection panel will choose a proposal from the submitted materials before arranging a site visit with its maker. A photograph of an earlier work may accompany the application, but it does not replace either required document.

The residence mailroom places parcels that fit its lockers behind coded doors. A locker code works whenever the entrance hall is open. Oversized parcels remain at the staffed counter, which closes at 5 p.m.; their collection cards carry no locker code. Residents collecting at the counter must present the card and their own residence identification. Someone else may collect there only with the card and a signed authorization naming that person; the collector must show identification matching the authorization. An arrival email announces delivery but does not replace a collection card. Counter staff are unavailable after closing, even while the hall remains open.

Listening headsets are issued from the desk with a deposit receipt. Visitors may choose either language version for the same deposit, and changing languages during a visit does not require a second deposit. The staffed return desk closes at 4:45 p.m., fifteen minutes before the gallery. After the desk closes, place the headset in the labeled return drawer before leaving; do not put the receipt in the drawer. Staff process these late returns the next morning. Bring the original receipt to the desk then to claim the deposit. A gallery admission ticket alone is not evidence of a headset deposit.

The square entrance has steps. Visitors who need a route without steps can use the east gate and the level connecting passage until 4 p.m. After that passage closes, the north entrance remains available by an outdoor ramp until the building’s last admission at 5 p.m. The north ramp is reached from the river path, not through the east gate. A ticket stamped earlier in the day permits reentry only through an entrance currently open for admission. The square entrance stays open until 5 p.m., but its steps have no alternative crossing at that entrance.

The music building closes at nine each evening. Practice-room bookings must end ten minutes earlier so users can return chairs to the marked positions and leave the building on time. The percussion instruments in Room Four may be played there but must not be moved to another room, even for a short rehearsal. A room reservation includes use of the equipment already assigned to that room. Please report a damaged chair at the desk rather than exchanging it for one from a neighboring room.

Film-club members may reserve seats from Monday morning. On Thursday, any unreserved seats become available to guests. A reservation holds a seat but does not allow late entry: the doors close when the opening presentation starts at seven. The feature film begins fifteen minutes after that presentation starts. Everyone, including a member with a confirmed reservation, must enter before seven. Please have the reservation name ready at the door; printed tickets are not required for this screening.

Each line on the departure board shows a leaving time and the final destination served by that journey. A small diamond beside the destination means passengers must change trains along the way. A journey without a diamond is direct. The platform column may remain blank while staff confirm the track assignment; a blank does not cancel the departure. Cancellations appear as the word CANCELED across the line. Before boarding, passengers should check both the destination and any connection symbol.

Write the date on a day pass before beginning its first journey. The pass then covers ordinary travel on that date through the last scheduled service, even if that service arrives after midnight. A reserved seat still requires a separate seat booking; owning a day pass does not create one. Keep the dated pass until the journey ends. An unused pass with no date may be saved for another day, but a pass bearing today’s date cannot be used for ordinary travel tomorrow.

The public sky session begins with an indoor talk, which takes place in all weather. If the sky is clear, the telescope terrace will open afterward. Places at the talk are booked in advance, but telescope turns are assigned separately at the terrace and depend on the time available. A talk booking therefore does not promise a telescope turn. In cloudy weather, visitors may stay for an indoor question period instead. Please check in for the talk even if clouds make terrace viewing unlikely.
