Production Assistants Needed
« on: Sep 29, 2014, 02:13 pm »
The OBIE Award-winning Pig Iron Theatre Company seeks Production Assistants to assist with the development of A Period of Animate Existence, a new Pig Iron work in its early stages of creation. The workshop takes place from November 10th to November 15th at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in NYC. Production Assistants will participate in the creation of an original Pig Iron work by recording actor improvisations during workshop, preparing workshop spaces for creative activity, maintaining updated scripts and notes, and by providing other logistical support to the process as needed.

The Intern will receive focused mentorship from the production's Stage Manager, and will gain hands-on experience with the creation and development of a new work.

The approximate time commitment for the Production Assistant will be 35 hours for the week of November 10th – November 15th; the internship is unpaid. (If multiple applicants qualify, time commitment can be flexible upon request)

Please email us for further details.

What is the focus of the mentoring?  Is the internship targeted towards students?

If so, is there a structured set of objectives intended to provide supplemental experience to that obtained in a classroom setting?  What type of feedback will be provided to the student's professors or advisors? 

IMO it's important to distinguish between a structured, thought out educational experience versus an experience primarily targetting free labor under the guise of an internship.
