Aids concerning dance
Support for choreographic creation is the essential foundation of the Ministry of Culture’s support for the activity of independent choreographic artists.
Presentation of the device
The artistic teams (dance companies, theatre, circus, street arts and musical ensemble) can be accompanied by the Ministry within the framework of the device of decentralized aids to live performance (ADSV). Every year about 1300 teams from all disciplines are supported.
This aid scheme is governed by statutory instruments (decree, decree, circular) which we invite you to read before any solicitation (cf. documents to download below). Attention, the device is currently under revision. Once published, the new texts will be published on this page and will replace the current texts.
- Decree no. 2015-641 of 8 June 2015 on the allocation of Decentralized Aid to Live Shows
- Decrees of 22 December 2015 on the conditions for awarding and submission of ADSV applications
- Circular of 4 May 2016 on the modalities of allocation of ADSV
- Appendices to the circular
From now on, these aids are of two kinds:
- annual project aid,
- aid for multi annual agreements.
All requests under the ADSV device are now made directly from the ministry’s dedicated webpage:
The online form is available for the duration of the campaign and applications received outside of these periods will not be withheld.
