It was an instance of serendipity when a local family approached the Hochstein School of Music and Dance<\/a> in downtown Rochester last spring, hoping to arrange music therapy\u2014with a focus on drumming\u2014for their son, who has autism spectrum disorder.<\/p>\n

The request came just one day after Maria Battista-Hancock, director of Hochstein\u2019s expressive arts department, had interviewed jazz drummer D\u2019Jean Vasciannie. He\u2019s a student in the Eastman School of Music\u2019s master\u2019s program in music leadership<\/a>, and he had applied for a \u201cHumanities for Life\u201d internship.<\/p>\n

The new program, supported with a five-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation<\/a>, matches students interested in the arts and humanities with local nonprofit organizations. The paid, 30-hour-per-week internships help Rochester students explore how their skills can be engaged professionally, for the good of the community.<\/p>\n

Sixty students applied for the program in its inaugural year, competing for 10 spots. Participating organizations\u2014the Center for Youth<\/a>, Garth Fagan Dance<\/a>, Hochstein, Memorial Art Gallery<\/a>,\u00a0Out Alliance<\/a>, Strong National Museum of Play<\/a>, Writers & Books<\/a>, and local public radio station WXXI<\/a>\u2014selected from among the applicants and tailored internships to the students\u2019 goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese organizations haven\u2019t traditionally recruited at the University. It\u2019s an opportunity to build a talent pipeline into the Rochester community,\u201d says Cathy Caiazza, director of career curriculum initiatives at the Gwen M. Greene Center for Career Education and Connections,<\/a> which works with the University\u2019s Humanities Center in administering the program. She expects the number of applicants to grow next year.<\/p>\n

October is National Arts and Humanities Month<\/h3>\n

Celebrating creativity, cultural inquiry, and the contributions of the arts and humanities to life in the United States throughout its history.<\/p>\n

The Department of Music<\/a>, the Eastman School of Music<\/a>, the Eastman Community Music School<\/a>, the Humanities Center<\/a>, the Institute for the Performing Arts<\/a>, the Institute for Popular Music<\/a>, International Theatre Program<\/a>,\u00a0Open Letter Books<\/a>, the Memorial Art Gallery<\/a>, and Sage Art Center<\/a> are just some of the University\u2019s homes for humanistic exploration and arts education, exhibition, and performance.<\/p>\n

For information on some specific events this month, visit the University\u2019s arts and entertainment events\u00a0<\/a>calendar, the Humanities Center events\u00a0<\/a>calendar, and the Eastman events<\/a> calendar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vasciannie was a novice teacher, but an expert drummer. Working alongside a trained music therapist, he gave drum instruction to the student as one component of his internship. \u201cHaving somebody with D\u2019Jean\u2019s expertise helped the music therapist who now works with this student to have a firmer foundation in how to direct the student in drumming. It gave a depth of flavor to the therapy sessions,\u201d says Battista-Hancock.<\/p>\n

Rochester-born Vasciannie, who himself took lessons at Hochstein for a time, has long thought of music in therapeutic terms. \u201cI started playing music as a way to heal, to address any problems going on in life. I wanted to bring that mindset,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

His work with the expressive arts program, which serves more than 1,300 people each year, also gave him hands-on arts administration experience through the development and continuation of organizational partnerships, working especially in collaborations with the Alzheimer\u2019s Association and on \u201cMusic for the Ages,\u201d a celebration of the arts for a local senior living community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like one’s art, or study of the arts, should reach as many people as possible and be accessible\u2014by doing so, you can find meaning in your craft,\u201d he says, citing the lessons of \u201cTo the Next Generation of Artists,\u201d an essay by two of his jazz heroes, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. \u201cTheir first point is, \u2018awaken to your humanity,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cAnd what I took from that is, you\u2019re not alone. We can\u2019t create alone\u2014other things in life influence you and move you along. And a lot of that is rooted in compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Battista-Hancock saw the convergence of Vasciannie\u2019s compassion and know-how when she gave him a tour of the department\u2019s facilities. She pointed out the department\u2019s well-worn drum set and mused aloud about how much she\u2019d like to have an electronic set whose volume could be calibrated for clients with auditory sensitivity.<\/p>\n

Wheels began to turn in Vasciannie\u2019s head. He called a person he\u2019d met as an Eastman student, a contact at the musical instrument company Yamaha. Thanks to Vasciannie\u2019s intervention, an electronic drum set is now on its way.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told them the story of our department and the individuals we work with, who process music and reality in a different way. He explained that a tool like this would be amazing for Hochstein. And now we\u2019re waiting for it to be delivered,\u201d says Battista-Hancock.<\/p>\n

That melding of the idealistic and the practical is at the foundation of the \u201cHumanities for Life\u201d program. For Emily Tworek \u201920, an internship at Writers & Books, a Rochester literary arts center, was an opportunity to turn her love of literature into a form of community action. Tworek, from Edinboro, Pennsylvania, is majoring in English, theater, and business. She\u2019s interested in artistic administration, and the internship gave her a chance to find out what a career in nonprofit organization leadership would be like.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tailored my internship to me, always asking what I wanted to do,\u201d says Tworek. \u201cI wanted to see nonprofit work from the inside, in the hope of being an artistic director or executive director one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyle Semmel, who until recently led Writers & Books, put her to work with budgets, program initiatives, grant writing, and other tasks that fill the day of anyone who leads an arts organization. He says Tworek would be a natural in the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe demonstrated early that we could trust her\u2014and we trusted her with quite a bit,\u201d he says. He ultimately offered Tworek and fellow intern Caitlin Davie \u201919\u2014an English and psychology major from Syracuse, who spent the summer working in communications at Writers & Books\u2014part-time staff positions at the end of their internships. Tworek worked as the center\u2019s book-keeper until the end of the fiscal year, and Davie holds the post of membership coordinator.<\/p>\n

\u201cA major advantage of an intern program such as this is that we get to see firsthand the quality of the work these individuals are doing, and if we have needs that arise, we can act on opportunities,\u201d says Semmel. \u201cThey\u2019re within our network\u2014we know the work they do, we trust them, and it\u2019s a small leap to say, \u2018We\u2019ll hire you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

All involved say that the fact that these are paid internships makes a critical difference, too. While science, technology, and finance internships are typically funded, most arts and community-focused organizations don\u2019t have the resources to pay interns, says Caiazza\u2014and so humanities students often face a choice between earning money in the summer and taking a professional internship. The program is intended to help redress that dilemma.<\/p>\n

Kamilah Robison \u201919, a psychology and art history major from Hartland, New York, plans to go on to graduate school in art history or museum studies. But most museum internships are unpaid, \u201ceven in cities with a cost of living three times that of Rochester,\u201d she says. \u201cFor students interested in art history or museum work internships\u2014which are almost necessary for success in the field\u2014they become unattainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Memorial Art Gallery selected Robison as its first-ever full-time summer intern. And while most museum internships involve only one department\u2014such as education, curation, or advancement\u2014Robison\u2019s was structured to allow her to work in each of the museum\u2019s departments, helping her to see the ways in which the departments interact and collaborate. \u201cThis gives me an edge when I go on to any other museum,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She attended meetings on curation and on strategic planning, worked on advancement efforts, and learned how to give educational tours. \u201cI was also able to do art historical research on some pieces and really flex my formal training in that way which was exciting. They taught me the ins and outs of interacting with museum members and gave me a behind-the-scenes look at art storage and restoration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funding and a custom-designed internship aren\u2019t the only unusual components of the programs. So, too, is the emphasis on the interns as a cohort, connecting with each other to reflect on their experiences through both a half-credit course and regular Friday \u201croad trips\u201d to all the internship-sponsoring organizations. The outings foster conversations about career opportunities for humanists and give the students a network of relationships with local nonprofit professionals.<\/p>\n

For Davie, the visits were eye-opening. \u201cThe circuit showed me what\u2019s here in Rochester and confirmed for me that I\u2019d love to work at a nonprofit. And it gave me more confidence about moving forward\u2014to know that I can have a job with responsibility, where my actions have an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vasciannie says his internship heightened his sense of what\u2019s possible in an administrative or musical career, and what it can take to achieve it. \u201cThings don\u2019t happen right away,\u201d he says. \u201cIt takes time, persistence, an open mind, and creativity when it comes to helping the organization you\u2019re working for and the community you\u2019re trying to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Battista-Hancock, works with interns from around the country who are drawn to Hochstein\u2019s community mission. But she says the \u201cHumanities for Life\u201d experience is distinctive. \u201cThe program takes a personal interest in developing the interns as artists and as community changers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And the focus is on the future, says Semmel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think of it as a way of training the next generation of arts leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
