[Gret Palucca has appeared in frequent performances at the Bauhaus, and also on 28 April 1927 on the Bauhas stage ... 'get palucca dances on the bauhaus stage' was scheduled for 5 May 1928 with a lecture of '... exercises and improvisations for students on the bauhaus stage' for the following day. - This event might have been the occasion for the photo-shooting with the Feininger brothers, Lux and Andreas, on the roof of the master-house.]

Scheper: "Palucca's wild urge to move often emerges into spectacular freely improvised dances. Without tangible textually cause 1902 born Palucca combines body dynamics, space, music and sound and creates cheerful performances with extraordinary jumps adored by her audience."* [209, p 150]
