Job Description
Description:
The heart of Boston Ballet is the human experience. Through our living and breathing art, we forge human connections—between artist and attendee, teacher and trainee, friend and newcomer, one's outer and inner self. We believe that the community of employees that makes dance possible is better together when talented individuals with varied life experiences, identities, races, cultures and ideas are welcomed, encouraged, and heard.
Annually, Boston Ballet presents its production of The Nutcracker at the Citizens Bank Opera House between Thanksgiving and
New Years' Eve, with approximately 250 students from Boston Ballet School. Boston Ballet is seeking individuals to work on a temporary, hourly basis as a Child Supervisor for this season's production. Throughout October and November, Child Supervisors will be needed at the Boston Ballet studio to help check students in for costume fittings, costume distributions, and assist with rehearsals at the Boston Ballet studios.
From November 24 through December 29 Supervisors will be needed at the Citizens Bank Opera House to oversee child performers during rehearsals and performances. This hourly position is considered temporary and seasonal and requires daytime and evening hours throughout the performance run. Weekday matinees are scheduled for December 6 and December 13 – December 29. There are no rehearsals or performances scheduled on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Supervisors will not need to attend all rehearsals and performances, but availability and flexibility during this time are important.
Responsibilities:
As a Child Supervisor, individuals are responsible for monitoring children during rehearsals, costume fittings, and performances. At the Opera House, supervisors will escort children backstage and must be familiar with the production for the purposes of getting the children to wardrobe and onstage at the appropriate times, as well as safe and efficient entrances and exits from the stage area.
Please be sure to include a cover letter and resume when you submit an application to be considered for the position.
Requirements:- Experience working with children is required and previous supervisory experience is preferred.
