• Art history / Curation
• Visual design
• Performance design
• Or related areas
We have two different teams you can join: the Curatorial team, and the Communications team. Previous experience in related fields is considered a plus, but above all we value motivation, creativity, willingness to learn as well as independent thinking and a structured mindset.
We are looking for team players who like to collaborate with others – internally and externally. In our team we welcome people with diverse, international backgrounds. However, fluency in written and spoken English is a requirement. Written and spoken Danish is a plus.
Placement and duration
Our office is located in the centre of Copenhagen, more specifically at Villa Kultur, in the very peaceful Østerbro neighborhood. In the festival period you can also expect to work at our different venues, e.g. The Royal Danish Theatre and VÆKST at Refshaleøen.
The Internship will be exclusively on-site, as we do not offer remote positions. The duration of your Internship is flexible and can be tailored to your personal or academic needs. It can be a full-time or part-time position, with an availability of 3-5 days per week.
