The ASSISTANT PRODUCTION MANAGER works closely with the Production Manager to oversee the safe and orderly operations of NYSAF activities as a part of the 2024 season. Adding technical support to works that are in-process is very different from mounting a production which is ready to be staged. While our artistic teams are invited to embrace fully being in a state of process, they are also often managing pressures from outside the NYSAF community which place an emphasis on product. To that end, a successful production team requires patience, nimbleness, grace, and the ability to acknowledge multitudes. We have learned that these values in concert with our Code of Conduct makes for the most productive process-driven environment.

 

As a member of a residency-based team, our roles and responsibilities will encompass not only production needs but also building and maintaining the creative and professional values of the NYSAF community. Some tasks may fall “outside” of expected parameters, including weekly welcoming procedures, process-specific creative thinking, and even chipping in with small tasks (like turning on the coffee machine if you’re the first one in the office).
