NYTW 2050 ADMINISTRATIVE FELLOWSHIP DESCRIPTION
NYTW is now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 season 2050 Administrative Fellowship program — a sister program to our successful 2050 Artistic Fellowship, which supports emerging playwrights and directors.
For 20 years, NYTW has honed an inclusive fellowship program for emerging theatre makers with a multiplicity of perspectives. These fellowships have taken many forms, supporting playwrights, directors, designers and administrators.
The 2050 Fellowship is named in celebration of the U.S. Census Bureau’s projection that by the year 2050, there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the United States. This projection provokes thoughts at New York Theatre Workshop about the transformations that will take place in the American landscape – technologically, environmentally, demographically and artistically. They are a catalyst for broader questions about our moral and artistic future.
The 2050 Administrative Fellowship program is designed to provide first-rate instruction and mentorship to young professionals who are underrepresented in the field of theatre administration. We seek applicants with a unique cultural perspective inclusive of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, class, physical ability and sexual orientation who are interested in working in an administrative capacity at a not-for-profit arts organization.
The program will run from July 2018 through June 2019.
As a 2050 Administrative Fellow, you will:
• Commit to a part-time paid fellowship (30hrs/week, Monday-Friday) in one the NYTW departments including artistic workshop, casting, development, education, engagement, executive, finance/operations, literary, marketing, producing, and production management.
• Work directly with the department head and their team in the respective area of focus.
• Attend a three-day intensive seminar where you will be introduced to the field of arts administration, meet industry professionals, and begin to develop their fellowship goals and plans.
• Take on significant responsibilities in their department, including day-to-day tasks and long-term collaborative and individual projects.
• Participate in monthly seminar meetings to discuss their work, share ideas and receive specialized career-development training.
• Participate in brown bag lunches with members of the NYTW staff and invited guests and attend industry networking and social events.
• Present their work and experiences to staff and members of the NYTW extended community at an end-of-the-season fellows’ symposium.
