WOVEN ELEGANCE

The contemporary modernist Bauhaus by Loie Fuller, inspired by yarn wool and thread, textile technique, and weaving structure developed by Anni Albers, is a mesmerizing performance that combines movement, light, and woven textures in a stunning display of artistic expression. A flowing, translucent textile made of intricately woven threads, resembling the intricate colored patterns and rich textures often found in Anni Albers' weavings and drawings. The textile threads reflect and catch the light as the textile moves, creating a dynamic and captivating visual effect through the set backdrop. The movements are graceful and fluid, evoking the textured patterns of the textile. The textile manipulates, creating waves, folds, and pleats that echo the new weaving techniques developed by Anni Albers. The thread is an extension of the body, and weaves in and out of the textile, creating a mesmerizing interplay between movement and the textile's structure. The textile may be made of natural threads woven together in complex patterns.

FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY

The Bauhaus dance is modern objects and utilitarian art nouveau furniture designed by Henry Van De Velde. The dancer moves gracefully and fluidly, as the objects and furniture transform the body. The dancer manipulates in unique ways, showcasing their functional design and demonstrating their practical use as the legacy of Bauhaus design. Throughout the performance the movements become more dynamic and energetic, incorporating the objects and furniture as the choreography with precision and creativity. Spinning around incorporating its shape and form into the dancer's body, or using a table as costume to create striking visual compositions. The dancer moves effortlessly and seamlessly as one object into another across the stage, utilizing their functionality in movements while maintaining fluidity and grace emphasized through the costume. The dance is a testament to the power of design and its ability to inspire and captivate an audience, while also reflecting the changing cultural and societal values of the time. Spotlights and colored lights create dramatic silhouettes that enhance the visual aesthetics of the body. The lighting design adds an additional layer of artistry to the dance, accentuating the utilitarian beauty of the objects and furniture, and elevating them to works of art.
