Job description

Description

The heart of Boston Ballet is the human experience. Through our living and breathing art, we forge human connections-between artist and attendee, teacher and trainee, friend and newcomer, one's outer and inner self.

Typical shifts are in the evenings or weekends and are normally 4-hour shifts.

  • Operate video camera and other recording equipment during rehearsals and performances. 
  • Label and submit all media immediately following a shift. 
  • Copy all specified media to the computer and label all recorded files as instructed. 

Requirements

  • Experience with the operation of video cameras or other recording equipment.
  • High level of attention to detail

PAY RATE: $22.50 per hour
