Performance and Production Support Internship – Summer 2026
Emmanuel Jouthe | Danse Carpe Diem is seeking two contemporary dance interns to take part in a new creation during the summer of 2026.
This internship is intended for individuals who have completed a dance training program within the last year or who are entering their third year of studies.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This new creation is a choreographic work designed for urban green spaces, built around a succession of bodies exploring endurance, presence, and the composition of a human landscape in continuous transformation.
INTERNSHIP DESCRIPTION
The internship will take place over five non-consecutive weeks during the summer of 2026, with 3 to 6 sessions per week. Each session will last between 3 and 4 hours. Rehearsals will take place primarily at Baldwin Park, with studio rehearsals scheduled in the event of rain.
Throughout the internship, the selected interns will be integrated into the artistic process of the work and will participate in rehearsals as well as in the implementation of the scenographic setup.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Production Support and Scenography
In collaboration with the company’s Production Manager, the two interns will be responsible for transporting, installing, dismantling, and storing the scenographic elements between the storage facility, rehearsal locations, and, when necessary, the studio during inclement weather.
Transportation and handling duties represent approximately 45 minutes before and after rehearsals. Travel will be carried out primarily using a cart (the storage facility is located 5 minutes from the park) and, on rainy days, via Communauto to the studio.
