Foundation John Neumeier

 
John Neumeier's collection of dance related materials is internationally known, admired and respected. Its combination of a dance art-collection, extensive dance library, archive and memorabilia, accumulated over decades, as well as research material and documents pertaining to the creation of his own ballets is unique. The Foundation's mission and goal is to preserve and present the history of dance in a combination of word, images, objects and documents.

The Foundation John Neumeier was founded on February 23, 2006. It represents, in a sense, a "third column" of John Neumeier's artistic activities in Hamburg – along with the Hamburg Staatsoper, which offers a venue for performances of the Hamburg Ballet and the Ballet Centre Hamburg, the central point for education, training, rehearsal and creation. All three places working together are dedicated to education, research, documentation, development and the presentation of dance.

At the present moment, the Foundation is at the beginning of its work – preparing and documenting the collections. Therefore it can offer only limited access to the public. Its development, however, into a museum and institute is in planning, which will make the various collections as well as documents relating to John Neumeier's lifework accessible to the general public. In its final stage the Foundation will eventually facilitate the display of this collection in a lively enlightening and provocative manner and also promote accompanying activities relating both to John Neumeier's work and the art of dance in general.

To achieve this goal, the accredited non-profit Foundation is dependant on continuous and constant fund raising. Any contribution to support these efforts will be greatly appreciated.
