Apply to be our Expanse Festival Production Management Mentee!
This is an opportunity for one on one mentorship in facilitation, tech, and project management. The chosen applicant will, among other things, be tasked with supporting our Production Manager in whatever ways are deemed necessary to bring the festival to life. This year’s Production Management mentee will learn many facets of this process, including meeting the specific technical needs of each Expanse piece, maintaining timelines, communicating with festival producers, partners, and production team, and doing it all with the ability to pivot in case of a change in public health orders. If you are a self-motivated go-getter who is the kind of person that learns best from a hands-on approach, this could be the opportunity for you.
