Pentacle's Educational Programming announces its upcoming cycle of the


Cultivating Leadership in Dance Internship Program
January 19 - March 12, 2010
________________________________________________________________
"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 work with vibrant and emerging choreographers and companies while participating in a structured internship program. The intern will enter the field of arts administration with a network of peers and information specific to the small and medium size companies of NYC's professional dance community. The company will benefit from the energy and ideas of the intern and Pentacle's expertise in serving the infrastructure needs of artists.

Participation will include:
  • Creation of an individualized work plan developed by Pentacle, the intern and the company
  • Ongoing monitoring of the progress of the company and intern partnership
  • Weekly training and enrichment workshops for the intern
  • An evaluation of the effectiveness of the internship for both the company and intern

The program will take place over 8 weeks: January 19 - March 12, 2010. Interns should be working with the company at least 10 hours a week. Workshops will be 6:00 - 9:00pm once a week, day TBD. Evening activities may take place during the course of the internship.

The company may already have an internship posting up or have identified an intern. If the company has not posted for or selected an intern, Pentacle will help develop a posting and recruit an intern. The company will be responsible for the final interview and selection process.
