[By the end of the semester, on 9 July 1927, Oskar Schlemmer and the Bauhaus stage create a grande 'Ballet and Pantomime Evening'. Also scenes of Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet will be performed, and for the first time professional dancers were engaged; i.a. Karla Berggruen for the 'Little Dance' of the 'Dancer in White with the Dancer Turkish'* [209, p. 159]. - This photograph was probably taken during rehearsals for this event, the guest-dancer Karla Berggruen standing on a table in the canteen of the Bauhaus wearing a part of the tull-discs-dress from Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet.]

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.
