Production Intern - Jacob's Pillow

Production Interns work alongside Jacob’s Pillow Production Staff as well as the visiting company's staff and artists to gain hands-on experience and knowledge about all aspects of the production process. Production Interns will complete seven (7) two-week rotations in which they will be the primary assistants to the Production Managers and departmental supervisors. During the pre-season Interns will assist the PMs and Supervisors in the planning, preparation, and advancing of the Festival, as well as participate in opening and preparing the Festival grounds, theaters and studios. During the festival they will continue to actively assist the managers and supervisors for what is upcoming as well as participate in the operation of the week’s productions, events and activities. The focus of the internship throughout the summer will be to provide the interns with the basic understanding of how each department functions as well as provide them a deeper knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of Production Managers and Department Supervisors.



In addition to their assigned rotations each Production Intern will work with the Programming + Production Administrator and Director of Technical Production to develop an independent project to be completed by the end of the Festival. Interns will be encouraged to take full advantage of the Pillow’s vast Archive when creating their project. While the production schedule and each theater and department’s needs will dictate the intern’s weekly schedule, time will be provided for completing the independent project as well as attending dance classes, talks, screenings, lunch & learns, performances. Throughout the summer production interns will have the opportunity to work with and learn from the dancers, artists, and staff from dance companies throughout the U.S. and the world.
