(Dirk Scheper)įor the 1974 reconstruction Gerhard Bohner was able to use records by Oskar Schlemmer, which document poses and simple movements, between which he created connections, limited only by costume and props. Using simple wooden hoops the "Hoop Dance" shows how possibilities for dance actions and shaping the space can be gained from a specific material and the form variations derived from it.
In the "Stick Dance" wooden sticks are fixed to the chest, arms and legs, and are enlarged and made visible by the mechanics of the joints. The Bauhaus dances, "Stick Dance" and "Hoop Dance", both produced in 1928 for the Bauhaus Theatre repertoire, are part of Oskar Schlemmer's identified numbers as "material dances", in which a specific material and its scenic possibilities were topicalized out.
