Theatre Gargantua is seeking TWO interns who are serious and committed to pursuing a career in the performing arts. Our mentorship program is designed to provide an opportunity for emerging artists to expand their skills and experience through observing and participating in the final phase of Theatre Gargantua’s two-year creation cycle. Specifically, participants will attend all rehearsal and creative meetings while simultaneously assisting in areas of production (e.g. set, lighting, costumes, stage management, and director assistance) and administration (e.g. publicity, marketing and promotion). Through this program, interns will develop new skills that will be useful in future artistic and producing endeavours.
The internship will begin in early August and continue through performances of Fibber to be staged at the Theatre Centre from September 30th to October 19th.
Successful applicants will have a background in theatre or dance, an interest in multi-disciplinary work and/or collaborative creation processes, and are able to commitment to the full length of the project. Interns will receive an honorarium for their participation.
Applications can be made by sending a resume and a cover letter detailing the applicant’s interest in the program and the company as it relates to their future career aspirations.
The deadline to submit applications is July 21st, 2008.
Please send to info@theatregargantua.ca citing “mentorship” in the subject line or by fax at 416.588.3793. (Please no phone calls.)
