Performing Arts Department Associate Performers

The Fine Edge Theatre Company takes high quality productions into WA schools, raising questions of faith and its relevance to our daily lives. The performing group is comprised of five or six .Associate Performers., who are interns working within the Performing Arts Department.

Associate Performers work under the direction of the Fine Edge Artistic Director. The role involves rehearsal, performance and facilitation of group discussion. Work is based around a series of performance seasons in schools and some churches. Associate Performers work part-time, Tuesday - Thursday plus Sundays during the Easter and Christmas season. This allows them to gain additional employment or undertake study.

Moves & Voices Theatre in association with Fine Edge Theatre Company also offer positions which will be full time for 3 months of the year and part-time for the rest for the year. The Easter and Christmas primary school seasons will be completed with Moves & Voices focusing on music and puppetry. The middle season will be working with Fine Edge Theatre Company on their high school program.

Associate Performer Intern positions require specific skills in the performing arts. An audition is part of the interview process.

Warriuka Interns

Warriuka School Adventure Camping conducts a program of school camps, during school term, in partnership with school teachers. Campers participate in adventure activities, camping experiences and discussions relating activities to the Christian faith. Each camp has a salaried professional Camp Director, who is assisted by Interns and additional volunteer staff.

Interns in the Warriuka Department undertake a range of camps, and assist in the office tasks that support the program. They work on a specific project that helps develop the overall program.

Warriuka Interns are strongly encouraged to enrol as students in the Certificate IV Outdoor Recreation, offered by Scripture Union. See the separate Student Handbook for further information on this course. Whether enrolled or not, all Interns will undertake training that is aligned to the requirement of this certificate.

Over a one year full-time appointment, interns undertake approximately 100 days "in the field", starting with a training week in mid January and concluding in December. School holidays are a quieter period in the Warriuka department.

Warriuka Intern positions involve many weeks of rough camping, and a reasonable degree of physical fitness. Some specialist equipment is loaned to you for the year, while you will need some of your own personal camping gear.

Tailored Internship arrangements

We are open to arranging a specific job description to best suit your interests, as long as we believe we can properly supervise your work. Examples are:

• Collaborative arrangements between us and your church, whereby you might be placed in your local church to minister there for a portion of your time.
• Arrangements involving more than one department within SU, for example a range of ministry opportunities with primary age children, including camps, clubs, school camps and local outreach.
