Caden Manson / Big Art Group accepts volunteer interns/PAs on an ongoing basis throughout the year. While many internship programs focus on a single discipline of professional theatre training (design, technical, publicity, etc.), our program guides interns/PAs  through the total professional performance company experience. All interns/PAs are encouraged to express specific interests.

The internship/PA  program with Big Art Group offers opportunities for interns/PAs  to become familiar with the administration and creative process of the organization. Big Art interns/PAs  make suggestions in staff meetings, become actively involved with rehearsals and productions, and become part of the extended organization of the company. The intern/PA  team is made up of a mix of local, national, and international performance makers, theoreticians, students, and professionals; and creates an exciting laboratory for experimentation and exploration.

Big Art Group is currently working on:

Broke House is the new group work by Big Art Group premiering in the American Realness Festival January 6-16, 2012 (Exact Dates TBA). The piece signifies a break from the last 10 years of the companies work in that it is a response to Chekov’s Three Sisters. Broke House explores social aspects of modernity and time: the frustration of social progress and the problem of presence in a world compromised by the virtual. From a bare stage the company constructs and dismantles the wooden skeleton of a house as they simultaneously film a documentary of its residents. Issues about the tragic entrapment of nostalgia and the futility of escapist fantasies of the future play out through colliding and disintegrating stories refracted across Big Art Group’s sculptural scenography and lightning fast Real Time Film matrix.
