Foundation Toer van Schayk

Toer van Schayk is well-known as a choreographer and the creator of a large number of works, not only in the world of dance, but also as a painter-sculptor and scenographer. It is important to make sure that his many works remain accessible to future generations. It is the aim of the Foundation Toer van Schayk to create a legal framework for this purpose. Next to his works as a visual artist, Van Schayk choreographed more than 50 ballets as well as a vast amount of stage sets and costume designs. In order to safeguard these works, records should be kept of Toer van Schayk’s cultural heritage, so in the future the re-creation of his works remains possible. All visual recordings of his dance creations are to be kept as part of the Foundation’s archives.
