Administrative Stage Manager for National Dance Competition Tour StarQuest Dance Competition , NY

Star Quest Dance Competition
New York , NY
US

Star Quest Dance Competition is a nationwide dance competition, touring to 70+ cities each year to deliver a truly unique experience to young performers. We are looking for motivated, positive, people-oriented leaders to join our touring Road Warrior team!

• Stage Manager: This is not a typical SM position. Responsibilities not only include physically demanding load-ins and management of local crew, but also creating memorable experiences for our guests. SMs must develop a streamlined, yet fun, backstage environment for an ever-changing 500-1,000 performer “cast,” while proactively leading fellow crew and running a seamless, LIVE, unscripted show. Our Stage Managers are the right-hand person for the Event Directors, with the keen ability to see multiple perspectives, excel in high energy environments, and maintain consistent positive attitudes during pressure‑cooker scenarios.
  
  This position is for natural leaders with a dual focus on perfecting details while evolving the artistic big picture.

• Innate leadership with prior experience in their field
• A love of providing a great experience to guests of all ages
• Impeccable logistical and problem-solving skills
• Strong communication
• Mastery of time management and multitasking
• Prior experience working in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to load in, load out, and carry heavy equipment
• Skill in moving quickly through time and space
• Ability to work well on little to no sleep (And thrive while doing it!)
• Sense of humor

This is a truly unique experience that will allow you to grow personally and professionally. You’ll work side by side with people who love what they do and strive to find the best way to overcome obstacles and accomplish a common goal. It is challenging, yet extremely rewarding. With this type of work and schedule, you will have a one‑of‑a‑kind opportunity to evaluate your own skills and grow to your fullest potential.
