Objectives

The Music and Performing Arts Management (AMSV) program has several complementary objectives, aimed at developing students' expertise in administration, production, and cultural action in the fields of music and the performing arts.

One of the fundamental objectives is to prepare students to develop, structure, and manage artistic projects. The program places significant emphasis on autonomy, organizing collective work, and managing projects in collaboration with performing arts professionals (Scène nationale de l'Essonne, SMAC Le Plan et L'Empreinte, Scène de recherche de l'ENS Paris-Saclay). Real-life scenarios as part of the learning process or obligatory internships during initial training allow students to put these skills into practice in a professional setting, while consolidating their network.

Professionalization is at the heart of the educational project. It relies on the involvement of teachers from the professional world (mediators, producers, cultural administrators, cultural action managers, teacher-researchers, specialized lawyers) and on a network of partnerships with production and distribution structures. The AMSV program is designed to enable each student to develop a coherent and personal project in line with their professional aspirations.
