ABOUT IMAGERY

Amy Seiwert’s Imagery, a contemporary ballet company in San Francisco, believes that ballet is an expressive and vital voice relevant to our times. Imagery’s artists share the belief that through collaboration & experimentation, vibrant and courageous ideas are expressed and habitual reactions are discouraged. Imagery’s mission is to expand the definition of ballet by exploding preconceptions of what ballet is and can be.


DETAILS 

This paid administrative internship offers an opportunity for mentorship from Amy Seiwert’s Imagery during Imagery’s annual production season. The intern will work directly with Managing Director Annika Presley. Part of the work will be remote and other parts will be in person. Preference will be given to those based in the Bay Area. Onsite work will take place at Zaccho Dance Theatre, ODC Theater, and a potential other location to be determined. All places are wheelchair accessible and accessible via public transportation. ASI’s Managing Director has rudimentary knowledge of ASL.
