Open Call for New Classes and Workshops from Teachers, Artists & Explorers in New Orleans

This year, the new Beaubourg School is opening its doors with free classes and workshops for the greater New Orleans community. 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.

All attendees will be able to participate for free and Beaubourg offers teachers a $40 stipend per class. 

Classes take place primarily at 614 Gravier Street, in an air conditioned / heated room with a concrete floor whose dimensions are approximately 50 ft x 19 ft. There is also a small courtyard with an 8 ft x10 ft stage where classes can take place. 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 or workshop you would like to teach. We are open to hosting a range of practices and research with these course offerings and hope to share a variety of knowledge across multiple disciplines. We welcome applications from seasoned educators as well as first-time teachers. 

Applications are found here: https://forms.gle/LjBTU46hxUGCNT5B7

Applications are currently being accepted for future semesters. When in-person meetings start to become possible again, we will begin planning the next semester’s curriculum. Apply anytime!

Support for this tuition-free educational program is provided in part by the Beaubourg Theatre, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking.
