Program Overview

Introduction to the Program

The "Jouer et mettre en scène" (Playing and Staging) program is a two-year master's degree offered by the Université PSL and the Conservatoire. This program is designed for comedians and actors who have obtained a DNSPC and a license, and aims to provide training in staging.

Program Description

The program has a dual ambition: to reactivate the historical vitality of staging as a strategy for actors, and to treat the current alliances of staging with human and social sciences, new technologies, cognitive sciences, and exact sciences. The program is affiliated with the Graduated Arts Program of the Université PSL.

First Year (M1)

The first year of the program is composed of practical and theoretical courses in dramaturgy, analysis of modern and contemporary aesthetic currents, direction of actors, writing, scenography, and regulation (light, sound, video, etc.). The program also includes a three- to four-week internship, which allows students to observe scenic practices, modes of gathering, and rituals in different social and cultural contexts.

Second Year (M2)

The second year of the program is structured around a large internship in a professional environment, the writing and defense of a research thesis, and the realization of a final project. The program also includes courses on production, thought as a strategy articulated with dramaturgy and the vision of shows, as well as technical workshops necessary for the accompaniment of projects.

Tuition Fees

The tuition fees for the program are €478, which is fixed by the Ministry of Culture. Additionally, students must pay the Contribution to Student Life and Campus (CVEC), which is €100.

Financial Aid

Several financial aid options are available to students, including:

• Bourses sur critères sociaux (social criteria-based grants) awarded by the Centre Régional des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires (CROUS)
• Aide spécifique allocation annuelle culture (ASAAC), a annual cultural allocation aid
• Fondations privées (private foundations), such as Porosus, SIMONES, la Fondation Culture & Diversité, and la Fondation d'entreprise Hermès

Housing

The Conservatoire has agreements with several housing providers, including the Régie immobilière de la Ville de Paris (RIVP) and the CROUS, to provide social housing to students. Additionally, several other housing aid programs are available, such as Locapass, Visale, and Mobili-Jeune.
