Critical Correspondence Internship

 

Critical Correspondence Internships are approximately 10 hrs per week. Hours may be distributed unevenly depending on season and workflow. The internship term is one year. Intern is required to attend the monthly editorial team meeting.

A CC Intern responsibilities include:
- Transcribe/edit interviews
- Assist with website maintenance
- Convert audio files into podcasts
- Keep a calendar of events, interviews, and other timely matters
- Participate in preparation of monthly e-newsletter
- Deliver recorders from the Movement Research office to interviewers
The ideal candidate will have the following:
- An interest in engaging contemporary and experimental dance and/or performance work through language
- Familiarity with web platforms
- Writing and editing skills
- Interview skills
- Ability to work independently
- Audio and video editing skills also greatly appreciated but not required
- Investment in the mission and goals of the publication

This internship is largely self-directed and the intern will most often work from home, aside from monthly meetings. It's a good opportunity to gain experience in the field and hone editorial and critical thinking skills. During the internship, the intern will receive access to Movement Research classes and some workshops. Due to COVID-19, MR classes and workshops are being planned virtually for the Fall 2020 season.

Mission and Goals of CC:
Critical Correspondence (CC) is an artist-driven project of Movement Research that aims to activate, develop and increase the visibility of critical discourse on dance and movement-based performance work. We initiate conversations and writings to map the language surrounding current practices and to establish a dialogue between artists and others who are engaged with this work. We also host contributions from artists/writers traveling, working in different localities or reporting from a particular working process.
