  • [Bauhaus stage Dessau, conceived and directed by Oskar Schlemmer. On 16 March 1927, addressing an audience of the 'Circle of the Friends of the Bauhaus', and following Oskar Schlemmer's related lecture, the Bauhaus stage performs its Demonstration of systematical Exploration of the formal Elements for stage production, a program of different scenes dealing with dance, staging and the figure in space [cf. 209, 210]

    Scheper: "The following demonstration deals with the distribution and the design of the stage-space while using modular walls and light. Experiments of this kind follow the ambition ... to replace the conventional backdrops by an arrangement derived from the elementary formal means of staging... The performance demonstrates the emergence of imaginary spatial units by using light and shade - building a space in a space. This setting plus the interaction with the moving dancer and movable lighting creates the complex experience of dynamic spaces."* [209, S. 141, 143-144]

Exhibitions

Still Undead: Pop Culture in Britain Beyond the Bauhaus. 2019 Nottingham (GB) Still Undead explores the Bauhaus in relation to art and subculture in Britain. The exhibition coincides with the centenary of the pioneering yet short-lived art and design school’s founding in Weimar. It traces how Bauhaus experiments in light, sound and performance lived on, refracting into disparate fields: electronic music, kinetic sculpture, shop-window display, mod fashion, queer club culture. Spanning the 1920s to the 80s, the exhibition includes works by some 30 artists, designers and musicians.
