The Choreographic Trust: Preserving Dance Legacies

摘要

This article assesses the growing use of choreographic trusts to secure proper management of a choreographer's dance legacy, focusing on the legal status of those of George Balanchine, Frederick Ashton, Jerome Robbins, and Merce Cunningham, with consideration also given to Martha Graham's will.
