This lecture traces how dance artists over the last 100 years have reanimated Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet (1922) and Dances for the Experimental Stage (1926). Both works were created with students and faculty at the Bauhaus and toured, mostly through Germany but also to Paris. After the Bauhaus closed in 1933, it seemed that the choreography was lost, but dancers who migrated abroad continued exploring Schlemmer’s concept of the Kunstfigur and influenced subsequent artists, notably Alwin Nikolais. In the 1970s and 1980s young choreographers, notably Gerhard Bohner and Debra McCall, decided to reconstruct the original works, relying on archival documents and the memories of participants and observers of the original works. More recently, artists have returned to an exploration of the principles inherent in Schlemmer’s works and in the Bauhaus as a whole. One such work, Futura by Chicago-based choreographer Jan Bartoszek and her company Hedwig Dancers, will be performed at centennial celebrations at the Dessau Bauhaus in fall 2019.
