This is an excellent traineeship for anyone in the early stages of their career, looking to gain experience and flourish in arts marketing.
The Place, London’s creative powerhouse for dance development, has been leading the way in dance training, creation and performance for over 50 years. In a changing landscape, their mission for the future remains steadfast: they are powering imagination through dance, championing new ideas, embracing risks and creating optimal conditions for dance artists and enthusiasts to realise their full potential.
The communications trainee will report to our Press & PR manager and work closely with our Communications team within a busy and exciting dance organisation to market our range of events and programmes. You will help maintain and monitor The Place's social media presence by scheduling posts on social media accounts across all major platforms they use.
You will also learn how to produce performance programme notes (for all performances in the theatre), assist in the production and placement of advertising, as well as research, planning, development, and implementation of marketing, PR, and communications activities.
