Paid Internship: Costume & Production Assistant

imitating the dog is recruiting for a Costume & Production Assistant Intern to work on our new production Remember Romeo, during pre-production filming in December 2026, at Lancaster University.

This paid internship offers an opportunity for an early-career or emerging arts professional from an underrepresented background based in the North of England to work with us as we create Remember Romeo, a new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. 

The internship totals around 15 working days, the equivalent of three full-time weeks, spread across four weeks: about eight days of costume sourcing and fittings before filming (weeks beginning 30th November and 7th December), five days during the filming week at Lancaster University (week beginning 14th December), and about two days of costume returns (week beginning 21st December). There is some flexibility on how the sourcing days are delivered, which we anticipate would be remote working.
