FAQ About The Impact of Bauhaus on Modern Dance

The concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, or 'total artwork,' was popularized by composer Richard Wagner and refers to a piece of art in which different art forms are combined to create a unified and immersive experience. This concept aligns closely with Bauhaus principles, which seek to unify various artistic disciplines. In dance, this idea manifests in performances where choreography, music, set design, and lighting seamlessly integrate to create a cohesive artistic expression, embodying the Bauhaus vision of interdisciplinary collaboration.
