The MR Internship Program hosts ongoing internships during the fall and spring seasons, as well as winter and summer internships geared toward college and university students and recent graduates. The MR Internship Program has a work-study structure — interns work with and are mentored by MR staff and, in exchange, receive access to MR classes and select workshops.
The Internship Program offers a range of internship positions for artists and arts workers ages 18 and up. Movement Research is equipped to work with students who are seeking credits through a college program or course. Read on for details on the positions, openings, and how to apply.

Program & Events Internship | Rolling Application
All P&E Internship positions are currently filled for our Fall 2026/Winter 2027 season; however, we are continuing to accept applications for future seasons. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis dependent on programming needs.
This internship position is a 6-month commitment. Generally, the Programs Team operates on a Fall/Winter season (Sep–Feb) and Spring/Summer season (Mar–Aug), however we do accept applications throughout the year. The minimum weekly commitment is between 8-12 hours per week, though it may vary according to the programming schedule. Interviews for the Fall/Winter season will take place in August/September 2026. Start date and training will take place in mid September 2026.
There are 6-8 Programs & Events internship positions available for the Fall/Winter season.
The Programs & Events Interns work closely with the Programs and Events Manager and Associates to organize and implement Movement Research’s artist programs and events. The primary duty is to assist in the management and implementation of Movement Research classes and workshops, including the MELT workshop series (January), as an onsite liaison between faculty, artists, students, and MR staff.
MR internships follow a work-study format, in that interns are encouraged to participate in the classes, workshops, and/or events they work, while also gaining access to nearly all Movement Research classes for free. This position works in-person, with limited opportunity for remote work.
Candidates should have experience with Zoom, Google Docs and/or Microsoft Excel and Word, as well as strong organizational skills, punctuality, and attention to detail. As this is a public-facing role, excellent interpersonal and communication skills are essential. Knowledge of Filemaker Pro or experience with databases is not required but helpful.
Programs & Events Interns can expect a fairly consistent schedule in coordination with Movement Research’s ongoing class schedule. When applying, please share with us your interest in MR classes and faculty, as well as your anticipated weekly schedule for the Fall of 2026.
To apply, submit a cover letter and resume reflecting relevant work experience as well as your anticipated weekly availability to internship@movementresearch.org. Please add the following in the subject line: “FULL NAME. Programs & Events Internship: Fall Application.”
