Great Big Story

The Bauhaus Movement produced more than just minimalist buildings and furniture; it also gave way to a dance of geometry. In his 1922 “Triadic Ballet,” prodigious artist Oskar Schlemmer stripped away the genre’s archetypally fluid movements and fabrics, placing his dancers in structural yet jovial costumes. Join the Bayerisches Junior Ballet München as they prepare to bring Bauhaus center stage again.

Hi @grant123 , The forms, unlike the tiara for example, have a significant impact on the way they move and on the way their movements are perceived by the audience. The tiara is there only as a narrative reinforcement (for princesses) and as part of the set decoration; these giant globes around their hand serve the dance itself. I think that was Schlemmer intention.

grant123 The tiara is just a convention passed down from the tradition of representing royalty in ballet. So it in not specific to Schlemmer's ballet, and therefore not useful to it. So, the tiaras are useless while the specific ball decorations are not.

👍 Thanks for sharing. RU-vid has shown me traditional ballet with comic elements (e.g., one dancer always behind or a ballerina getting the men to do cleaning) but this is the first I've seen where the costumes take you beyond the amazement of the athleticism and grace of traditional ballet. The whole ballet must be truly something that makes you think outside the box of daily living. Thanks again.

As a dancer who performs primarily ballet and contemporary works, this is very new and innovative to me. I really enjoy the concept. The thing is, I look for technique whenever I watch others dance, and part of a good costume for anything dance, in my opinion and experiences at least, is flexibility and it not being restrictive. I feel like it’s a very very good concept, but from the looks of this I feel like the end results are subpar to my expectations. When I have more time, I’ll research this, as I know it can still beneficially influence both my technique and choreography, even though the actual dance isn’t exactly my cup of tea.
@leonorlps9967

Hi miss mr! I am glad you brought this up, and I would like to share some of my thoughts on this subject if you don't mind :) The aim of this piece is not to show technical virtuosity, flexibility, or impeccable ballet skills, that is what modern dance, classical and neo-classical ballet are for. This modernist "ballet" has a much deeper conceptual dimension to it that, in my opinion, surpasses any physical mastery. The fact that the costumes restrict the dancers and make them look as if they were geometric forms is essential to the piece, it questions the human form and human behavior. At the same time, it questions design and architecture, and how it is apparently conected with a still object and often dissociated with life, or seen as an accessory to life. As a dancer myself, I find that one of the biggest problems with contemporary dance nowadays, is the concern with the athletic, with the ever-moving, flowing body, and the entertainment of the public, and the artistic purpose of it is forgotten. Dance can be stillness, dance can be walking and breathing. To see someone implicated in the act of dancing as a statement, as a political manifesto, to me, is far more powerful than seeing someone just dancing and lifting their legs high up. For me that is not dance, that is a sport. I hope this gives you another insight to the possibilities of dance, which are endless! I also love ballet technique, and it's amazing to see that it can be associated with such modernist, avant-garde creations like Triadic Ballet. All best!

It's strange, and interesting, and very creative. The only thing it needs is background. It seems all the attention is given to the costume and our eyes go there, but would be nice if they make it less circus like and more with stories and purpose behind the movements.

I mean no offense when I say "This is probably one of the weirdest things I've ever seen". I just can't find beauty in this. It's just "too" unusual for me. It may be "art", I can respect that, but to me that doesn't make it beautiful. Respect for the dancers though. That would be humiliating for me, but they seem to enjoy it. Good for them.
@yungboy4216
@yungboy4216 6 лет назад
AstroDreamer well beauty is subjective so what you find ugly others will find beautiful That's what is so great about art, it doesn't need to match the aesthetic preferences of everyone
@adamcunningham8675
@adamcunningham8675 6 лет назад
AstroDreamer successful art isn’t always supposed to be beautiful. it doesn’t even have to be aesthetically pleasing. the fact that that’s the basis by which you judge art is probably why you can’t see the artistic merit of this
@astrodreamer946
@astrodreamer946 6 лет назад
MrAwesome172 and Adam Cunningham: I respect the fact that artistic taste and the definition of beauty varies from person to person. I respect the dancers for their performance. I respect the costume creators vision and creative ability. I'm not insulting anyone, or at least not trying to, but I think I'm in the majority when I say that these costumes aren't eye catching or "aesthetically pleasing". Yes, everyone has their own taste, making it subjective; everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in this case, I think those are just bizarre. It's definitely abstract, to say the least.
@adamcunningham8675
@adamcunningham8675 6 лет назад
AstroDreamer it’s not supposed to be aesthetically pleasing or eye catching. did you watch the video? they highlighted at the very end how the crowd laughing was a reflection of what the creator envisioned when he made the art form. what you’re doing is like focusing in on the cinematography of a comedy movie
@graup1309
@graup1309 5 лет назад
I feel like people need to understand that on from the turn of the century, art and 'being beautiful' don't really follow the same path any more. The only exceptions to this are maybe architecture and fashion, but most other art forms actually aspired to be 'ugly' in order to challenge the audience's world view. I mean, look at 12-tone music or the art of noises or Dadaism. That stuff doesn't sound or look nice. But it does carry a message and that's why I love art especially from that era. Welcome to my Ted talk.
