100 Years of Bauhaus Bauhaus Agents Workshop „Bauhaus and me“
Dance artist Jo Parkes collaborates with pupils from Bertolt-Brecht school to create a performance investigating the relevance of the work and lives of the Bauhaus artists to this group of young people living in Berlin-Spandau a hundred years later. The Bauhaus school was founded in troubled times: it embodied a search for a socially engaged creative practice in the aftermath of war. Can we learn something from the visions, lives and works of the artists involved for our own times? What – if anything – does individual and collective creativity have to do with the socio-political problems of our times? Accompanied by composer/performer Mattef Kuhlmey, who will co-create a soundscore for the piece, the group will share the outcomes of their research.
