Stichting Laswerk

The Laswerk Foundation aims to promote, facilitate, and encourage the development and production of artistic and cultural expressions in the broadest sense of the term. The foundation pursues this objective through these two organizations:  

Duda Paiva Company creates theater that blends dance and puppetry. The manipulation technique used to bring the puppets (sculptures made of foam rubber) to life is rooted in dance movement. From that essence emerges a choreography for a dancer or performer and a puppet, which we call the Object Score.

Key Points of the Duda Paiva Company Policy Plan
Duda Paiva Company aims to further develop the Object Score technique into a method with its own distinct identity, and is doing so by:

  • Creating and performing visually compelling and accessible theater productions for audiences of diverse backgrounds and ages.
  • Seeking out and establishing collaborations with other disciplines, artists, and companies, thereby enriching and diversifying our work.
  • Sharing knowledge and experience with other creators by leading workshops and guiding them as they develop their talents and pursue their own dreams for the future.

The Laswerkplaats was a well-equipped theater workshop that provided everything needed for creators in Amersfoort and the surrounding region to work. As part of the Wagenwerkplaats redevelopment project, the building was demolished in 2021. We are currently developing new facilities in collaboration with Per Expressie, Productiehuis Kosmik, and the city of Amersfoort. Our goal is to give the city a space that is available 24/7, accessible, and affordable for creators from the city, the region, and across the country.
