Internships

Increase your knowledge of the world of international arts through an intensive internship with PAA. Spend anywhere from four weeks to six months living in one of our many locations throughout the world and gaining an understanding of the professional aspect of your discipline. You’ll be working about 30 hours per week and will complete your internship with a final project to showcase what you’ve learned. Most internships are meant to give you a window into the creative process of a music, dance, or theater company and do not always include the opportunity to train or perform. This will depend on your skill level and the needs of the company where you will be working at the time you decide to do your internship. These programs are incredible opportunities to get behind the scenes and understand how your craft functions in a completely different cultural context.
