What does 'Bauhausian' mean today? It's not a style, but a METHOD. A disciplined approach to structuring questions before shaping things. Design as a social, editorial act where structure enables clarity. 👁️ www.bauhausian.com/en/essays/th... #Bauhausian #DesignThinking #Method

A moment from German Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer's avant-garde production, Das Triadische Ballett (The Triadic Ballet), first performed in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1922. #oskarschlemmer #bauhaus #triadischeballett #triadicballet #germany #dance #costumedesign #setdesign #moderndesign #art
Schlemmer was a key figure and Master at the renowned Bauhaus school, where he headed the stage workshop from 1923. 
The ballet explored the relationship between the human figure and space, geometry, and technology. 
The elaborate, sculptural costumes transformed the dancers into geometric shapes, restricting their movement to emphasize form over realistic expression. 
The production featured 18 different costumes and 12 different dances, divided into three parts based on color: yellow, pink, and black. 
The design in the image is one of the most iconic from the production, known for its bold, optical-art-style black and white stripes and spiral hat.
