Pentacle is seeking part-time interns for Cultivating Leadership in Dance (CLD), our internship and professional development program, for the Fall 2017 Session (Sept. 18–Nov. 10).

CLD is a program that partners interns and companies for a high-quality internship match. It strives to find the best possible match based on similar goals and interests, while also providing interns with training seminars in arts administration.

Pentacle strategically pairs interns with affiliated dance artists and nonprofit organizations, and works with them to create an experience that is rewarding, practical, and insightful.

The intern will learn from and contribute to day-to-day administration of what it takes to sustain a profession in the arts as an individual dance artist, company, or non-profit organization. CLD participants also gain knowledge and experience of budgeting, marketing, and producing a fundraising event together by the end of the seminar.

Lastly, Pentacle provides mentorship to both interns and companies to guide the management of the internship throughout the program.

Pentacle is a not-for-profit management support organization for the performing arts established in 1976. Our Education and Outreach programs nurture early professional development through mentoring and partnerships to foster multiple pathways in the arts and stimulate the field.
