DESCRIPTION:

New York City Center is currently accepting applications for a full-time Education Associate in the administrative office of the Education Department. Applicants should have a background in arts administration and education with a strong knowledge of dance and the performing arts.

The Education and Community Engagement initiatives provide innovative, accessible programming to schools and communities across New York City that supplement the work presented on our mainstage. In an effort to connect as many students as possible to the performing arts, our education programs range from multi-week in-depth residencies in schools to full-day professional development workshops for educators, study guides, and assessment tools. Our outreach programs for all theatergoers include pre- and post-performance talks, masterclasses, and discounted student tickets to professional performances at City Center. Drawing inspiration from works on our mainstage, City Center’s in-school programs ignite an appreciation of the performing arts, create a culture of inquiry and exploration and activate the individual creative voice for over 9,000 students each year.
