Video Editors needed for NYC theater that helps homeless children -Volunteer Info Session!
Last updated on March 15, 2010

Volunteer Opportunity Details:

I'm interested in this opportunity

Find out how you can grow creatively as a Video Volunteer at an award-winning non-profit theater that serves our community!



RSVP for an info-session to learn about our award-winning theater conservatory, community and education programs!



Our goal is to put together a volunteer team that can edit the groundbreaking work being done at The Actors Theatre Workshop. Using your professional skills to edit this wonderful material will surely stimulate hope, excitement and I believe bring true enlightenment to those who participate. At the same time you will reach another dimension in your craft as you learn about the unique filming/editing perspective of the ATW Founder and Artistic Director, Thurman E. Scott.

ATW has long been on the front lines of disciplined creative training for theater professionals and individuals committed to fulfilling their creative potential. ATW has also been a safe haven for thousands of at-risk and homeless youth. The original theater and educational technique which has been tremendously successful with our professional acting students, has proven to be equally beneficial to the children we teach in our after-school programs.

We have many years of footage from our adult acting workshop's and community program's that we want to share with you and the world. We've started sharing this video online and we've received such positive feedback from every corner of the globe that we are taking steps to put out more. This process takes time and so we would like to find more dedicated individuals who want to learn and make a difference in other people's lives and be a part of something hopeful by joining our video editing team.

Our editors often talk about the beautiful, inspiring and deeply moving moments they have witnessed when a student actor or a child from a homeless shelter brings forth his talent and reaches for their potential. You literally see the moments when there is a shift in consciousness and they begin to accept their strength and the unique gifts that they have to offer the world. And in that moment you know that this person has changed forever-- and as a result undoubtedly so have you.

By working directly with this material you will gain deep insight into the emotional and psychological breakdown of drama, and learn to see the penetrating insights that come out of script analysis, which gives you the ability to find and understand the eternal essence of ideas that are then formulated into a universal idea that helps to instill faith and spread hope to all individuals on a creative journey.

To learn more about our Volunteer Info Session for video editing professionals please RSVP at outreach@actorstheatreworkshop.com or call 212-947-1386 x0.

At the Info Session you’ll have a chance to meet leaders in the organization, learn about the work ATW has done in the community and see some of the inspiring videos that have already been cut. You'll have an opportunity to fill out an application and be interviewed for positions on the team that same day or schedule an interview for a later date. Feel free to fill out an application online prior to the info session; click on "volunteers" at http://www.actorstheatreworkshop.com.
