MISSION: The Beaubourg School is a community school that creates space to share and learn. We connect people interested in transforming our community through self exploration, knowledge sharing, and creative action.

The Beaubourg School is a community for developing ideas, experimenting, research, educational resources, creative networks, scholarly opportunity, academic exchanges, and more. Our goal is to host a range of practices and share a variety of knowledges across multiple disciplines with our course offerings. We welcome applications from seasoned educators as well as first-time sharers. 

We are committed to enacting our values of diversity, mutual aid, social equity, and amplifying marginalized voices in curating our class catalog. We are excited to offer classes that do not fall into easy categorization. Programming might range from physical movement, writing (for the screen, the poem, the stage, the self), the building arts (a history of modernism in New Orleans; Native modes in the present day), improvisation, actor training, field recording & its composition, music theory, vocal training, drawing, holistic wellness and more: our programming is bounded only by the imagination of our fellow citizen-sharers.

Previously, all attendees have participated for free while Beaubourg offers teachers a $50 stipend per class.

We are also partnering with the Contemporary Arts Center, which has generously offered space to host classes. If your proposal is beyond these confines, please do not abridge your dreams: we are committed to finding ways to make the space work for our practitioners, or if needed, working with our partners to find a satellite location that will serve the needs.

To apply, please complete an online application describing the class, workshop, lecture, or experiment in education you would like to lead.  We welcome applications from seasoned educators as well as first-time teachers. 

Support for this tuition-free educational program is provided in part by the Beaubourg Theatre and The Mellon Graduate Program in Community-Engaged Scholarship.
