FAI-AR–AModelofGoodPracticeandanArgumentfor a Master’s Program in Street Arts

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to investigate a model of goodpractices in the field of higher education focused on streetarts and implicitly on street theatre at European level,using as a case study the Formation supérieure d’art enespace public (FAI-AR) - a French formal school of artistictraining dedicated to creation in the public space. In anattempt to identify a methodology for street arts thatcould be taught formally, we have looked at what suchschools that already exist in Europe in search of a possiblecurriculum for street arts or street theatre. Our researchhas led us to the French cultural space where in fact theonly such school exists in Europe, namely the Formationsupérieure d’art en espace public (FAI-AR), born fromthe street arts movement that developed in France in the1970s and founded in 2004 in Marseille by the well-known French director Michel Crespin, whose name is linked to other institutions emblematic for the history of street arts. FAI-AR offers four cycles or study programs with variable durations and is addressed to professional artists and technicians who want to develop their skills in street arts within several professional categories - playwrights, directors, choreographers, visual artists, set designers, performers, actors, dancers, graffiti artists, circus artists, musicians, storytellers, puppeteers, urban professionals, architects, urban planners, designers, landscapers, geographers or project „accompanists”, cultural mediators, managers, producers, administrators, decorators, stage managers, technicians etc. The four vocational training programs that the school offers free of charge, with the help of subsidy programs from the French state, are: higher education (formation supérieure); continuous training (formation continue); online MOOC courses (massive open online courses); and research internships (salons de recherche).
