The Black Iris Project seeks a creative, highly organized, enthusiastic team player with excellent writing skills for a three month Company Management internship. 

Founded in 2016 by choreographer Jeremy McQueen, The Black Iris Project is a ballet collaborative and education vehicle which creates new, relevant classical ballet works that celebrate diversity and Black history. Based in New York City, the project hosts a team of predominantly minority artists capable of delivering cross-discipline and wholly original works. Championing individuality, the collaborative harnesses the Black community's inherent creative spirit to encourage and inspire youth of color to pursue art, movement and music as an expressive outlet and a means for collective healing. In it's inaugural year, The Black Iris Project has been awarded funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, New Music USA and CUNY Dance Initiative.

Beginning May 16th, the selected intern will work closely with The BIP's Artistic Director to organize and execute The Black Iris Project's summer educational outreach and performances (including SummerStage in Central Park, preview performance and discussion at the Schomburg Center for research in Black Culture, preview performance at The Rockefeller Brothers estate, and the collaborative's debut season at New York Live Arts). 

15 hours per week. Flexible scheduling. 
This is an unpaid internship. 

Please send your resume and a brief creative writing sample (via email) about how you would be a dynamic asset to The Black Iris Project's team to be considered for an interview. 
Thinking out of the box strongly encouraged. 

Send resume and writing sample to info@blackirisproject.org by May 6th.
