Bauhaus Ballet: A Dance of Geometry
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ส.ค. 2018
- 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.

Those costumes are STUNNING! I know they are weird but my god they look amazing
I like them too 🩰👁️🗨️🌌
I love when ballet goes out of its comfort zone every once in a while
Yeah like once in a century or less lol
they say it throws away useless decorations...so they put two freakin huge balls on their arms..not useless at all
grant123 yeah, it's not really bauhaus is it? they just used basic shapes and called it bauhaus
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.
Hi @Dead Sarcasm , The original looked pretty much the same.
🤣😂
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.
They all look so lovely! Like characters out of a strange book
2:33 my anxiety vs me
giddy-up!
jackaboi it’s my last two brain cells working on math
Go watch the second act of Ligeti's "Le Grand Macabre", I think it'll be more suiting ;P
@@nathanielouzana hgfgdhs you're right
Nathaniel Ouzana oh my god that’s me when my depression hits 😂😂
"Ze square, ze circle, ze triangle"
He's not german but has kinda german accent.
Bauhaus is such a fantastic aesthetic! Wish it would return to animation and cartoons. Such a unique visual.
Looks fun, but I wish they performed a story.
Every dance has a story
You should look up "Victory over the Sun!" This is a Futurist opera (bauhaus-like) with an extremely weird and frightening plot.
Mostly the dances have a Story but the viewer normally is in charge to work that out for themself.
I saw them live and it was truly amazing... nothing like anything I’d seen before. I wasn’t bored for a second!
Tbh I'd love to watch this
I like how he thinks the giggling by the audience is from the actors’ movements and not their costumes.
But honestly, this guy has a lot of spirit, and I can say he is commendable, at the least.
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.
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!
0:50 "Throw away useless decoration" Proceeds to install giant balls on hands
Theyre useful to bonk someone
I actually think this is pretty cool
It's like in the night garden on weed.
I love it.
Abstract art in real life. Huh...
Boba Fett Ballet is already art.
👍 Thanks for sharing. TH-cam 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.
I remember learning this in school. The entire class thought it was weird, except for that one artsy girl xD
This looks like someone's nightmare
Mehnaz Farzin Life between two world wars, in the countries where those wars were fought... What might your hopes and dreams have been like? Walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
TheGranti7a they weren't saying it was everyone's nightmare just someone's I think your the one who needs to walk in someone else's shoe's!
TheGranti7a that is the most over the top reaction to a comment
Sorry Family eat more modestly so that I can make more costumes, said Herr Schlemmer, which ironically means gourmet/gourmand.
I NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!
In the early 80s Bette Milder used very similar costumes and choreography for a section of her Art or Bust tour and HBO special.
Me making a Halloween costume last second.
Imagine a parallel universe where this become a Barbie movie along with the Nutcracker and the Swan Lake
THANK YOU SO MUCH. A TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO!!!!
What.....is that? Those performers must be high.
This is what happens when artists get tired of limited forms of expression.
But yes, some of them may very well be high.
It's called art and you get a lot of money I mean really much
Ruben Haak lol, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but art is totally subjective.
syz·y·gy I meant the other guy but I know a lot of artists do drugs but the actors don't
Ruben Haak You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
Now I just need to animated this and we can take it to a whole new level
Very intriguing and interesting. One day I should watch one of these performances.
Wow... that's weird
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
Cool very cool ballet 👀👍good for u
_I find this highly mesmerizing in some ways._
thank you!
I saw this, and immediately knew it was German. So innovative!
Prima!! How wonderful!
ART
"Nutcracker maybe comes to mind, or even Swan Lake, but probably not this"... Well I can see why!
Reminds me of the New Order "True Faith" video.
Actually, the "True Faith"video was inspired in the Triadisches ballett
First thing I thought of as well!
I would of not have clicked on this video if it was about ballet but it was about this I clicked it
OMG !! Its really great !!!
They look like balletdancers who got akumatized.
This is amazing
i watched it and it was realllyyyyy gooodddd
‘ Throw away useless decorations’... here put these gigantic orbs on your arms... hahahahaha
Omg I’m a ballerina, this is so cool!
This is crazy beautiful. I want a Bauhaus car designed just for me. Wouldn’t that be a trip?
this is cool
extraordinary, I love it, Bravíssimo!
if a clown mathematician, physician marries a ballet person
Fun!
The filmed version from the 70's is available to watch on TH-cam if anyone is interested- Das Triadische Ballet, it runs about a half hour long. Trippy shit.
Lovely!!
whyy do people in the comments say bad things about this? it's quite nice and expressive..
peanutbutterismyjam because some people are pussies who can't handle anything different
Amazing!
Ballet- *MODERNIZED*
Fire Nation Files This is actually older than the swan lake and all those classics.
Awesome!
The thumbnail had me dead
LOVE IT
I wish there was a musical recording and film recording of the ballet I could see it and hear it in its entirety
th-cam.com/video/mHQmnumnNgo/w-d-xo.html
i knew this looked familiar. i saw the 1970 film at the whitney museum's "dreamlands" exhibit.
Art - modern art
Ballet - this
This is stunning; but at the same time I feel like it'll give me nightmares.
Interesting!
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.
Entertaining!
THE BAUHAUS SCHOOL COVERED MANY AREAS OF EDUCATION.
That costume make me worst nightmare
At 1:37 you can hear a short snippet of Gershwin’s Second Prelude!
Him: "Think of ballet... Maybe Nutcracker comes to mind."
Me: Nope... Pain.
But this is pretty cool, scary, but cool
"We want to throw away the useless stuff like tutus and tiaras...."
--> *Proceeds to add huge ass balls to dancer's arms.
"costumes wich would throw away useless decorations"
* shows giant fucking orbs on wrists *
If the furnitures in Beauty and the Beast were of Bahaus design.
It’s crazy how everyone just thinks ballet is all soft all the time. Like no it’s not just the nutcracker and swan lake. There’s thousands of pieces all different
can somebody tell me the name of the magical tune played in the initial 4 secs?
Good video, only one note on the use of word minimalistic (minimalism etc), please don't use it for everything with simple forms (I know that's become its use nowadays) but as an architecture student I get that reminded a lot by my teachers, to use it more wisely, modern as well, Bauhaus is modern.
imagine watching this as a kid 😂
Is this just one ballet or is it a whole style? Because the dancing itself seems to me like regular ballet (if a bit contemporary ballet), it's just the costumes that are different
I saw this at SLAM
1:28
I swear that's orange
In my opinion the idea of Bauhaus is only good when relates to architecture or furniture
Jena TH and watches
Good thing it's only an opinion.
This reminds me of the star trek: voyager episode
I'm from Bavaria
i'm going to get nightmares tonight
I found this so funny
멋있다..
Reminds me of Merce Cunningham’s modern style
Excuse me while I go replace my nightmare fuel with a certain 2.52 minute video
This is what all modern Germany and German is about - get rid of all 'decorations' (even though they make art feel like art) and just put geometry and mechanics (or money and profit if talking policy) over everything else... Life does need excessive decorations sometimes, especially life in Germany :-)
Sign me up!
1:28 The Michelin Man must have gone on a diet!!!!
I’m confused what is ballet
It's that thing where there's a bear riding around in a little car.
high people doing high people stuff
You don’t know what ballet is?...
BookMilla I do but I’m confused does this count as ballet ?
Read some books!
Художник от слова худо )))
Was this in a New Order video?
no offense I think it is creepy This is something that would give me nightmares but this is very interesting as well love the content
When your high
Rolando Garcia what about my high?
The only people in the world who can kill you with their toes in 1000 ways
he said that they replaced "the useless costumes" how are big balls on your hands more useful than a tutu?
Why am I watching this at 1am
they just made it more difficult to stretch in ballet costumes
Picasso would be proud...
Looks like the acid trip of someone with a clown phobia. I’m into it, man!
Quem veio pela aula de artes???
