Each summer during its annual season, ADF offers internships in all areas of arts administration and production . Administrative internships are intended to give hands-on experience to those interested in a career in arts management. All interns work as an integral part of the ADF staff in an invigorating arts environment and play an important role in carrying out ADF's mission of serving dance, dancers, choreographers and artists in related fields. Due to the intense nature of ADF's season, most internships require evening and weekend work . ADF is held on the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
All interns receive a stipend.
Interns receive one complimentary ticket to each program in ADF's season. All activities are available as the work schedule permits. Each intern is supervised by a professional ADF staff member. ADF maintains a permanent year-round staff of seventeen which expands as the summer season approaches. Interns are responsible for their own transportation, food and housing.
