Part V. Method Acting for Directors

IP : Independent Professional. Someone who works for him- or herself in a professional capacity, and has clients or customers but no boss. Typically means a solo worker, although IPs may temporarily join work teams. IPs may work either off-site (from a home office or a separate small office) or on-site (at the client's location).

Play and Analysis

UAF translation/adaptation, Fairbanks, Alaska 1999

1099er : Synonym for IP. Term originally based on the U.S. "miscellaneous income" tax form which shows how much money clients have paid the IP. The general public would find the allusion obscure: they associate 1099s with minor amounts of money earned from things like bank interest. Only IPs associate the 1099 with their main source of income, and so attach a different (very positive) meaning to it.
