Chicago Tap Theatre is a vibrant young dance company that produces three exciting and innovative shows a year, in addition to performing at other venues in Chicago and elsewhere (including France!). The company is currently looking for an energetic, highly-motivated marketing intern to help increase the company’s exposure in the media and with local cultural organizations as we take the company to the next level. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to gain experience in non-profit and arts administration and marketing. You will work closely with the Artistic Director, the Business Manager and the board of directors.

See www.chicagotaptheatre.com for more information about the company, including the upcoming multicultural holiday show, Tidings of Tap, which runs December 15-17.

The tasks will include:
• Marketing and promotion
• Helping in the creative process on special administrative projects; graphic design and writing skills are a plus
• Audience and sponsorship development
• Researching and archiving marketing data
• Event management relating to shows produced by Chicago Tap Theatre

We’re looking for an intern who:
• Is a self-starter and able to work without detailed supervision
• Is conscientious and good with details
• Possesses initiative and strong self-management skills
• Has excellent interpersonal, organizational and communication skills
• Has strong web and computer skills

Please note:
Although the internship at Chicago Tap Theatre provides a wealth of experience (and the opportunity to work with some great people, if we do say so ourselves!), it is unpaid. Whenever possible we will work with our intern to meet requirements to gain college credit for internships. Chicago Tap Theatre is not able to supply housing.

The internship focuses on marketing tasks and projects; we do not offer dance or choreography internships. We ask our intern to commit to a minimum of 10 hours a week. Much of the work may be completed at home.

The position begins in early January. Length of internship is flexible. If you are interested, please send (1) a cover letter indicating why you think you are right for this internship and (2) a resume describing your relevant work or volunteer experience to Mark Yonally, Artistic Director, at jazztapdancer@hotmail.com, or call (773) 655-1175.
