Work experience programs can sometimes be challenging for arts organisations. Without proper structure, students can end up being relegated to mundane tasks, and supervising them can become a chore.
‘All organisations, arts and otherwise, grapple with work experience in different ways. The standard joke is it’s actually more envelope stuffing and a photocopying week for a lot of people in different companies,’ said Sydney Theatre Company (STC) Executive Director Patrick McIntyre.
