I’m reaching out because I am directing an all-girls Summer Academy at Mount Holyoke College in the month of July and we are hiring–we’re looking for dynamic female leaders to join the team. This is a slight departure from my theater work–but it’s a great chance to extend these creative leadership arms wide and transform some young lives! Please forward widely to friends, colleagues, etc. that may be a good fit!
I love the idea of an art/technology program for young women. I am a huge fan of the work being done at ITP and it would be so exciting to introduce teenagers to elements of art technology at a younger age.
However, the classes have already been chosen and publicized so this year we won’t be able to integrate too much technology. Though I’ll most certainly keep it in mind for years to come. I’d love to hear from any ITP students/alumni that may be interested in teaching ‘Creative Arts’– let them know we have wiggle room as to how we interpret this. I’m looking for someone who can design a well-balanced, ten day, six hour per day, curricula with emphasis on technique and variety.
We are looking for:
