Seeking Interns for CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP IN DANCE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP IN DANCE provides an unparalleled opportunity for interns to receive the benefits of a structured internship program, while working intimately with emerging, unique choreographers who could not provide an internship program on their own.

Benefits to the participating intern include:

Weekly workshops on topics in arts administration and career exploration
A network of interns working for other dance companies
A clear work plan outlining your responsibilities
A dedicated program person at Pentacle to help support the intern/company partnership and provide extra mentoring to the intern


Dance companies will want a commitment of at least 10 hours a week over 8 weeks, January 19 - March 12, 2010. Work responsibilities include assistance with archival projects, development research, aid with tour management, production preparation, collaboration on website development and other projects specific to the company or choreographer. This is a part-time, unpaid internship; however, college credit can be arranged.


Pentacle is a performing arts service organization with over 35 years of experience working closely with vibrant and diverse dance and performance artists. Pentacle's Educational Programming has a celebrated history of teaching students about all of the available careers in dance.


If you are interested in participating, please send a resume and a cover letter outlining your interest in arts administration to education@pentacle.org. Candidates whose interest and availability matches with participating companies will be contacted for an interview. Submissions will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.
