I was one of two Macalester scenic and lighting design interns on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you come across this job?<br><\/strong>Mina Kinukawa, our design professor, was involved in the process and invited me to join as an intern!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does a typical day look like at this\u00a0job?<br><\/strong>As an intern on an in-person production, I would be constantly taking care of small tasks to help out the design team. When we are all in our Zoom boxes, it&#8217;s a little harder to have hands-on projects&#8230; Most of my role ended up being observing production meetings and rehearsals. I also helped the designers with the research process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has your role been impacted by the pandemic?<br><\/strong>It&#8217;s been obviously very hard to find the kind of work and learning opportunities that I&#8217;d like during the shutdown. However, this project used streaming technology in innovative ways to allow live theater to happen again, in front of green screens in a media space. And it was just exciting to work alongside creative, talented people again, even if it was through a screen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have any advice for other\u00a0students\u00a0looking for internships or jobs?<br><\/strong>Reach out to more experienced people who work in fields that interest you, be honest about your level of experience, and show that you&#8217;re excited about the work! I&#8217;ve found that theater professionals in Minnesota have been very kind, and want to help younger artists when they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Return to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/theater-and-dance\/internships-professional-development\/\">Internships and Professional Development<\/a> page to read other student profiles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice Endo &#8217;22 &#8211; Freelance Lighting Design and Tech Work: Theater Mu Where is your internship and what is your role there?I interned with Theater Mu, on their virtual production of\u00a0Today is My Birthday.
