Job Description / Duties

The Arts Club currently has two paid internship opportunities for passionate & emerging artists. We are looking to hire an Assistant Director for each of the following shows:

REDBONE COONHOUND by Amy Lee Lavoie & Omari Newton
Directed by Omari Newton and Ashlie Corcoran

FORGIVENESS by Hiro Kanagawa
Directed by Stafford Arima

These opportunities have been made possible through the BC Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grant. This grant funds projects that build intercultural interaction, trust and understanding, or challenge racism, hate and systemic barriers. More information on the program can be found here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/multiculturalism-anti-racism/multiculturalism/multiculturalismgrants.

Interns will be paid a total honorarium of $2,500 and will be invited to shadow the process during rehearsals, production meetings, tech week and preview week. They are not required to be in attendance full time but can arrange their schedule in consultation with the show’s Director. They will intern with the Director on the staging of the work: working with designers, actors, and stage management to execute the overall artistic vision of the piece

Qualifications / Required Skills

The goal of these internships is to invite emerging artists into our spaces, and to give them a chance to learn from industry professionals while ‘on the job’. We strongly encourage applications from people new to the Arts Club and from those who may be looking to crossover to theatre from another discipline. Internship hours are flexible and will be scheduled in conversation with the successful artists, mentors, and theatre management.
