The School of Making Thinking (SMT) is now accepting proposals for artists and thinkers to teach a class for our NYC Spring 2020 Semester in partnership with Abrons Arts Center (a performing and visual arts center in the Lower East Side). SMT classes seek to bring rigorous thinking into conversation with experimental pedagogies by combining intellectual practices (reading texts, writing, dialogue, etc.) with artistic practices (dance, theater, design, film, etc). Please see past courses for examples.
Proposals are due Saturday December 7th 2019
Proposals should be emailed to [email protected]
and should include in the subject line "2020 Spring Proposal".
Specifications:
•Courses will run for 5 consecutive weeks during one of two cycles: Cycle 1, March 2 – April 3, and Cycle 2 April 20 – May 22.
•Each class in a course will meet once a week for 2 hours.
•Courses will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings from 7-9pm.
•Teacher are paid $500 for their course ($50/hour)
•Teachers will also be compensated for a 2.5 hour Professional Development that will occur in January (@ $25/hour)
•Courses cost (for students) $165 for a 5 week course
•IMPORTANT. Because SMT does not have the budget to hire a marketing team for these courses, it is the teacher’s responsibility to be able to draw a class size of at least 5 students in order for a course to run. If a course does not meet this class size minimum by the 1st day of class, the class will be cancelled.
