The objectives

The Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles trains teachers who are already specialists in their field. The Master's in Teaching in the Spoken Word Arts leads artist-teachers to examine the various tools relating to the didactics, pedagogy and methodology of theater and the spoken word. Throughout the year, future artist-teachers will be immersed in in-depth pedagogical and critical reflection. More broadly, this program aims to train artist-teachers capable of developing innovative, stimulating and collaborative teaching practices, adapted to the challenges of today's society.

The training program in theater education at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels offers an in-depth look at the teaching of theater to a variety of audiences in ESAHR.

The program includes general courses (pedagogy, sociology, etc.) and preparatory courses for theater teaching (didactics, specialized methodology, etc.), leading to internships in a variety of settings, mainly in performing arts academies.

The curriculum

Teaching/learning activities

. Micro-teaching: group practices that focus on the various disciplines to be taught, and enable us to devise and develop learning resources and tools, as well as reflect on the choice of subjects to be worked on.

. Basic academy courses: theater training and qualification, declamation, eloquence, multidisciplinary.

. Seminars: lectures on in-depth topics

. Professional internships (academies, conservatories, artistic humanities, general humanities/expressive arts): observation and active internships.

. Research community: theater and declamation repertoires to be built up by each student, while feeding into collective research. This research is then the subject of an oral presentation.

Employment prospects

Graduates are eligible for ESAHR (in the academies of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation) and compulsory secondary education (e.g. theatrical expression) in Belgium.
