Costume Intern - OnStage Auckland

We are looking for an Costume Intern to work with the Head of Costumes, supporting them through the process of designing, creating, and managing the costumes for the show. This is a chance for a young creative to work alongside our Costume Team and learn more about the process of costuming a large scale production.

About You

• You have some experience sewing/making costumes or clothing, and can use a sewing machine.
• You are passionate about costuming and the arts and want to expand your skill set and understanding of what goes into a production.
• You are 16+ as of 14 July 2024.
• You are a collaborative person who works well within a team.
• You are committed to attending regular costume making workshops and meetings.

Timing

This is a role that goes through two OnStage productions, starting with Alice The Wonderland Musical through the second half of 2024, and wrapping up after the completion of the first OnStage Auckland production in June 2025.

Exact schedule is negotiable, but most costume workshops will be on Sunday afternoons and some evenings. There are key times that require more in-person involvement, such as in the lead up to production weeks.

TripleThreat after school programme in Auckland

We currently run after school programmes during term time in Grey Lynn on Wednesday afternoons, and in Belmont at the Rose Centre on Monday afternoons. We need both regular tutors, and those who would be interested in providing cover for illness/unavailability. The courses cover dance, drama and singing, from a musical theatre perspective, and are skills based with no performance outcome.

If you are passionate about the arts and want to help young students develop their skills and talents, then we want to hear from you. Please submit your CV and a cover letter to recruitment@nyt.nz detailing why you are the ideal candidate.

We welcome applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
