The PSPBB was created on the initiative and with the support of the French Ministry of Culture and the cities of Paris and Boulogne-Billancourt. The latter is now part of the Grand Paris Seine Ouest (GPSO) territorial public institution.
The PSPBB’s aim is to help its students develop their artistic identity, prepare their personal project and future career in the best possible conditions.
The school’s educational programmes are designed to meet three main priorities:
Excellence-driven courses
It’s an artistic, educational and cultural requirement, supported by our teaching team of over 200 teachers, who are joined by a large pool of external contributors, artists, authors, directors, choreographers, composers and internationally renowned professionals, who bring quality, renown and diversity to the PSPBB’s training courses.
The best introduction to the professional world as a goal for each student
We prepare our students to start their career in their future environment. That is why we award vocational diplomas and design training programmes that are closely linked to the job market:
Compulsory internships
Real-life professional scenarios to learn how to perform on stage (shows, concerts, recitals and public examinations)
Immersion in the professional world (workshops, round tables and meetings with themes adapted to the reality of the artistic field)
Personalised support to build a career plan
Invitation of French and international professionals for master classes and commissions
English classes for professional use
Help in building a professional network
Career planning system for young graduates (integration fund)
A Professional environment track is included in each DNSP or DE course.
Links to the international network
To give our courses the widest possible exposure to the professional artistic landscape and encourage student mobility, we have strengthened and developed our links with the most prestigious international institutions (64 schools in 23 countries inside and outside Europe).
