What we’re doing to keep employees safe
As COVID-19 upended our lives and profoundly changed how we work, Sundance Institute moved quickly to put our employee’s’ health and safety at the forefront. Since mid-March of 2020, we have primarily worked remotely and have recently opened our offices again. We set up an internal working group to plan for how to return to our offices— and provide flexibility to allow employees to work from home regularly. We also pride ourselves on the benefits we have always provided that are especially critical during a pandemic, such as our life assistance program, telehealth options, and paid sick time.

FAQs
Sundance Institute is dedicated to the discovery and development of independent artists and audiences.
At our core, we believe that individuals can spark new ideas that entertain, push creative boundaries, and ignite empathy and understanding that can ultimately lead to social change. We not only look for these attributes in the artists we support, but the extraordinary talent that we hire to bring our mission to life. With that, we encourage individuals from diverse and historically underrepresented communities, as well as those with unique and transferable skill-sets from various industries, to apply to join the Sundance community.
We’re building a talent community full of inspired individuals who want to be a part of the action through our Year-Round Institute roles, Seasonal Program positions, internship experiences, and volunteer opportunities.
If you’re looking for a place where creativity, passion, and collaboration come together in support of a unifying purpose, Sundance Institute is where you belong.
