About the role
CONTENT CREATOR
This is a hands-on opportunity to create compelling, scroll-stopping content that connects dance with audiences who may never have set foot in a theater and makes them wish they had.
We're looking for 2 content creators to support Visceral Dance Center (1) and Visceral Dance Chicago (1)
Throughout the internship they will:
- Shoot and edit short-form video content and photography for the Website, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts that captures the energy, emotion, and physicality of dance.
- Apply platform-native storytelling instincts (i.e. trending sounds, hooks, pacing, captions) to create content that stops the scroll and drives engagement.
- Collaborate with the artistic and marketing team to develop a consistent content rhythm.
- Capture behind-the-scenes footage at rehearsals and performances
- Edit footage using mobile and/or desktop tools to produce polished, on-brand content at a fast turnaround.
- Monitor performance metrics (views, reach, saves, shares) and use data to iterate on content strategy.
- Assist in managing the social media content calendar and scheduling posts.
- Participate in brainstorming sessions for seasonal campaigns, performance launches, and audience growth initiatives.
- Support the broader marketing team with photography and video as needed
