DESCRIPTION
Director and writer Annie Dorsen is looking for a creative and administrative assistant to join her team. The assistant will work on managing calendars, budgets, and contacts, as well as assisting on current projects with logistical and occasional research support. The assistant should be able to juggle several different types of projects with attention to detail, transparency, good humor, and excellent communication.
Dorsen’s artistic practice includes technology, theater and performance, research, and activism. Familiarity with contemporary performance would be very helpful, but is not required. The assistant may be asked to coordinate travel for conferences or residencies, take notes in rehearsals, keep track of expenses and invoices, and keep communication moving.
She is looking for someone who is able to manage their own time and, when appropriate, take the initiative on balancing short-term priorities and ongoing projects. Good follow through is a must.
