Mandatory Statutory Reinvestment Commitment

"All membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions." All educational publications, choreographic research whitepapers, and administrative filings curated on this portal are free to download and share under non-commercial Creative Commons licenses.

Commitment to Open-Access Cultural Commons

Association ELSE adheres resolutely to the philosophy of the cultural and scientific commons. When public funding, municipal solidarity, and voluntary civic dedication make artistic research possible, the resulting knowledge belongs by right to the whole of society. Rather than patenting proprietary pedagogical methods or locking research documents behind commercial paywalls, our organization publishes all institutional charters, artistic research methodologies, and administrative guides openly for students, educators, fellow artists, and civic administrators.

Whether you are a university researcher studying interdisciplinary performance practices in France, a municipal cultural officer designing public dance residencies in your own town, or a citizen reviewing our statutory filings, you are encouraged to consult and download the verified documentation hosted below.
