"Participating in the Cultivating Leadership in Dance Internship Program solidified my desire to work in arts administration."
CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP IN DANCE provides an unparalleled opportunity for interns to receive the benefits of a structured internship program, while working intimately with emerging choreographers who could not provide an internship program on their own.
Benefits to the participating intern include:
- Evening workshops on topics in arts administration, resources and career exploration
- A network of interns working for other dance companies
- A clear work plan outlining your responsibilities
Dance companies will want a commitment of at least ten hours a week over an eight-week period. Work responsibilities include assistance with archival projects, development research, education outreach, aid with tour management, production preparation, collaboration on website development and other projects specific to the company.
This is a part-time, unpaid internship; however, college credit can be arranged. At the completion of the initial eight-week period, companies/interns may apply for a stipend to continue their partnership. **
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.
