Are you living in New York City or know someone there? Please read this post and maybe you can help me (and meet me in the future! :))
Some of you might already know this, but I study theatre design in Holland. I love my school and I feel like I am learning so much!
A very important part of my study is finding the right internship. And I have set my mind onto going to New York! It has been one of my dreams to live in New York for a couple of months and work there as an intern.
So I am hereby asking you for your help. Finding an internship is pretty hard especially if you are looking abroad, and I would love to hear if you have any advice and tips for me!
I am looking for an internship at the costume/wardrobe department for either television/film or theatre.
I am also interested in working for smaller companies or individual designers.
I can work full-time for a maximum of three months in the period of April to August 2013. I also need to find a place to stay, so any help in that department would also be great ;)
Please let me know if you know anything in that area or have any experience in working in New York! I really appreciate it!
Sorry, no thoughts! Other than stalking some blogs/websites of people you'd like to work with. Interacting on social networking sites has led to some jobs for me, believe it or not. I think because it makes people feel like they know you.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I really wanted to write and say "good luck!" You'd be fabulous in a costuming department and hope you find the internship you're looking for.
Thank you so much for the advice and your kind words!
DeleteHeya!
ReplyDeleteYou could maybe look into Jacob's Pillow, which is a dance festival. It's outside of New York, but within commuting distance of the city. I had a friend who interned in their comms/marketing department a few years back...
Hi, Thank you for your help! I will definitely check it out!
