The purpose of this competition is to design a stage set for a dance and music performance to be given at the Bauhaus stage in Dessau in December 2016. Since the Gropius Bauhaus was opened in 1925 Music and Dance was an important part of Bauhaus teaching complementing other disciplines such architecture painting textile or graphic design and sculpting.The most well-known exponent in the field of stage set and costume design was Oskar Schlemmer.
His designs for the Triadic Ballet combined both movement as well as geometry and music in a new understanding of space and movement in space. Designing at this historic location with suction into twine at musical as well as dance performance background surely is a challenge even today.
