“If today’s arts love the machine, technology and organization, if they aspire to precision and reject anything vague and dreamy, this implies an instinctive repudiation of chaos and a longing to find the form appropriate to our times.” Oskar Schlemmer a leading practitioner of Bauhaus, viewed three elements of the theater… man in space light in motion and architecture he was not interested in a representational theater but a theater of abstraction. he saw the life of our time as a product of mechanization and that impulse explains his insistence upon reducing form and motion to the smallest number of shapes and movements (http://www.falseart.com/oskar-schlemmer/) The Bauhaus, as a teaching institution for the arts, was established in 1919, in an attempt to unify all of the arts in, as its founder Walter Gropius expressed it, a “cathedral of Socialism.” Oskar Schlemmer, a leading practitioner of Bauhaus, viewed three elements of the theater: man in space; light in motion; and architecture. He was not interested in a representational theater, but a theater of abstraction. He saw the life of our time as a product of mechanization, and that impulse explains his insistence upon reducing form and motion to the smallest number of shapes and movements.
