CHARLES MUNCH – PARIS 11th ARR., DIRECTED BY KNUT JACQUES
The conservatoire is training students throughout their artistic studies in theatre, dance and music. This place of artistic practice also promotes training and broadcast activities, in various aesthetics and repertoire, while belonging to a network of Parsian institutions. Schooling and studies schedules are only organised to support each student's project. While the role of the conservatoire is to provide training in an artistic discipline, it is also to enable students to become independent in their future practice, even after years of training. Several courses can be followed, from long-term training (called “cycles”) to more specific classes. The development of teaching methods allows us to offer several approaches: group classes, or individual lessons, oral or writing teaching. The conservatoire’s project is both simple and ambitious: to train happy and demanding artists, throughout their training inside the establishment.
PAUL DUKAS – PARIS 12TH ARR., DIRECTED BY PHILIPPE BARBEY-LALLIA
The Paul Dukas conservatoire offers a wide range of artistic education in music, theatre and dance, and welcomes children, teenagers and adults following our various courses and workshops. The children discover dance, theatre, different instruments, sing in choirs, play in orchestras and experience the first joys of the stage. Our 1,700 or so students are taught by almost 150 teachers, from beginners to diploma level.
In addition to this specialised teaching, the conservatoire teaches at the Dance, Theatre and Music School and develops its artistic teaching mission (Musical Awareness Programme for all first-year students, dance in nursery, theatre or school orchestra in fifth year…)
More than 120 free performances are given each season by Conservatoire students, both in the auditorium and outside (Espace Reuilly, Maison des Associations, Parc Floral, libraries, etc.).
CRR 93 JACK RALITE – AUBERVILLIERS - LA COURNEUVE, DIRECTED BY ALEXANDRE GRANDE
With more than 50 years of experience, the Aubervilliers - La Courneuve CRR (CRR 93 Jack Ralite) gathers today a team of 140 teachers, passionately committed to to offering their 1,500 students a full range of courses, from discovering music, dance and theatre through to advanced practice: many of the students who graduate from CRR 93 Jack Ralite go on to higher education establishments in France and abroad.
Because access to the arts is crucial for a fully democratic education, the CRR 93 Jack Ralite has been committed to working with the French Ministry of Education ever since it was founded (the first special timetable class dates back to 1972).
This collaboration enables a large number of children - around 4,500 - to discover and train in music, theatre and dance, from nursery school to high school, during school time, by professionals from the artistic world. One of our main challenges remains to help everyone open up to themselves and to others.
Thanks to qualitative training and the establishment’s advanced teaching methods, the students of the CRR 93 Jack Ralite enjoy a genuine artistic life throughout their studies. This unique experience is strengthened with concerts, auditions and performances (nearly 180 a year), which is one of the school's distinctive features. These projects are open to all audiences and take place in a wide range of venues, both on and off the Conservatoire's various sites.
THE EST-ENSEMBLE conservatoires NETWORK
The Est-Ensemble conservatoires network, directed by Xavier Van Rechem and comprising eight establishments specialised in music, dance, theatre and visual arts, is one of the major centres for artistic education in the heart of the Grand Paris region, with over 6,000 students.
The Est-Ensemble conservatoires network has 4 main missions:
- Specialised artistic teaching provided by more than 370;
- Artistic and cultural education, particularly in schools;
- Developing and supporting amateur artistic practices;
- Hosting and presenting professional artistic works.
This network remains continuously attentive to new cultural challenges, to be always able to offer teaching that enables some of its students to reach pre-professional and professional levels, while at the same time reaching out to a wide range of audiences.
In an area where 37% of the population live in a priority urban district, the conservatoires play a fundamental role in terms of equal opportunities and access to artistic practice.
