Judy Dworin Performance Project, Inc.
   
Volunteer/Internships
Internships at the Judy Dworin Performance Project are available in 3 different areas. Internships are unpaid and can last as long as the intern is available. Hours are negotiable depending on which program the intern chooses. If you are interested in an internship, please submit a resume to Administrative Director, Carla Iovinella. Depending on the type of internship you apply for, the initial contact with Carla will be followed by an on-site interview at the office, rehearsal or residency sites.
 
Administrative
The Administrative Internship at the JDPP entails working primarily in the main office at City Arts on Pearl (233 Pearl St.) under the supervision of the Administrative Director. Daily tasks may include assisting with information distribution, marketing, public relations, office organization, bookkeeping, and research. Depending on the semester an intern will ideally be given a specific project to follow through on throughout the internship. Projects range and most likely involve assisting in the coordination and execution of events for the Performance Ensemble or Residency Program. Each project will be adapted to an Intern’s specific interests and skills.
 
Performance Ensemble
A Performance Ensemble Internship at JDPP entails working closely with Artistic Director Judy Dworin, Associate Artistic Director Kathy Borteck Gersten, and the Judy Dworin Performance Ensemble on the creation, rehearsals and production of a dance theater piece. Company rehearsals are generally Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Each Intern would experience the inner workings of creating and executing a professional work by a collaborative performance group.
 
Residency Program
A Residency Program Internship at JDPP entails working with our Moving Matters! Residency Program. Each year, Moving Matters! has residencies in Hartford area schools and at York Correctional Institution for women in Niantic, CT. Residency classes usually last 12 weeks and culminate in a performance piece. Each residency is based on a specific theme around which participants create the performance. Interns would assist with planning, organization, actual classes, and executing the final performance.
