This program focuses on process and immersion. Interns live and work alongside the Double Edge ensemble for 3 months, taking part in:

* physical training
* vocal and instrumental music sessions
* design work
* weekly Tae Kwon Do classes
* periodic work with puppets and masks
* individual work sessions and development of short etudes (studies)
* performance technical production
* local outreach
* farm work and grounds maintenance

The shape of each internship program can vary depending on the current work of the ensemble, as interns are a vital part of each season in the company's work. Course credit is available - please inquire with us for details.
