A production internship is available with the National Council for the Traditional Arts. A CMCL alum held the position this fall, and she asked me to let you all know about this opportunity. Please contact the director of production, Dennis Blackledge, for more info (dblckldg@ncta.net). Also visit http://www.ncta.net.
Production interns play a key role in producing major festivals, tours and events, and gain valuable experience in areas such as production/technical coordination, travel arrangements, artist and staff communications by working directly with the Production Management Team. Prior experience in music, concert production, theatre production or festival organization preferred.

Qualified applicants for all positions will be energetic, highly organized, hard working, detail oriented, computer literate and team players. Internships with stipend are generally limited to two to three positions annually, and generally require a multi-month commitment. No housing provided. Some evenings, weekends and travel required.
The National Council for the Traditional Arts (NCTA) is a private, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the presentation and documentation of folk and traditional arts in the United States. Founded in 1933, it is the nation’s oldest multi-cultural producing and presenting organization. The programs of the Council celebrate and honor those arts that are deeply traditional - music, crafts, stories and dance passed down through time by families, communities, tribal, ethnic and occupational groups. NCTA stresses quality and authenticity in presenting folk artists to the public in concerts, national and international tours, festivals, radio and television programs, recordings, films and other programs.
