Mathieu BOSSOS

M. Bossos conducts dance studies research at Université Paris 8, focusing on institutional dynamics, training environments, and policy development in the French dance sector. Their published works appear in academic journals and anthologies, examining dance education systems and structural challenges within professional training. The intersection of scholarly research and industry policy forms the foundation of their academic contributions. As an active member of Chorégraphes Associé·e·s, Bossos participates in legislative advocacy at the French National Assembly, developing dance sector policies and professional standards. Their involvement bridges academic research with practical policy implementation, informing industry-wide protocols. This work directly connects scholarly findings to regulatory frameworks governing dance education and professional practice. The "Violences en formation en danse" research project, led by Bossos, documents experiences of physical, psychological, sexual, institutional, and discriminatory violence in dance training settings. The study collects testimonies across conservatories, private institutions, and university dance programs. This investigation aims to establish comprehensive documentation of systemic issues within French dance education structures.
