Studio D: Arts school for all abilities

Studio D, part of the Education and Engagement Department, is a dance, music, and theater program for students of all abilities, including those with cognitive or physical disabilities. Classes are offered at the Center and at various off-site locations (therapy centers, schools, etc.). The Studio D intern will assist with recurring administrative tasks related to our Spring session, learning more about the overall functionality and structure of a recreational arts program. Additionally, they will support in the studio as a teaching assistant in a set number of classes per internship. They will also support new initiatives and research as we deepen our work within the arts and disabilities communities. A background in arts education is preferred, and knowledge in inclusive programming is a plus. Ability to speak more than one language is preferred but not required.
