Volunteer / Intern

Internships at the JDPP are available in 3 different areas. Internships 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, contact us at info@jdpp.org.

Administrative
The Administrative Internship at the JDPP entails working primarily in the main office at 75 Charter Oak Avenue collaboratively with the office staff. Daily tasks may include assisting with information distribution, marketing, public relations, office organization, and research. An intern will ideally be given a specific project to work on throughout the internship. Projects range and most likely involve assisting in the coordination and execution of events for the Performance Ensemble or Residency Programs. 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 Ensemble on the creation, rehearsals and production of a dance/theater piece. Each Intern would experience the inner workings of creating and executing a professional work by a collaborative performance group.

Residency Programs
A Residency Program Internship at JDPP entails working with our Moving Matters! Residency and our Bridging Boundaries programs. Each year, our residencies take place in several Hartford area schools. Interns would assist with planning, organization, actual classes, and executing the final performance.
