SecondNo man would be naked on the stage of the metropolis in the 1920s. According to drama scholar Ulrike Traub, the only exception is Sebastian Droste, who accompanies different dancers such as Anita Berber and Celly de Rheidt. No, it’s women, Berbers, de Rheidt, Valeska Gert, and others who are famous for taking off their clothes during some or all of the dance and exposing themselves to paying audiences. Describing them as early idols of sexual self-determination, and therefore regarded as the predecessors of the dancer and choreographer Florentina Holsinger, her actress is now a century later than the topless pioneers, naked, Except that the legs are close to the audience, is the most advanced explanation. At least one recently published book “Absolute Dance” is just that. “Dancers of the Weimar Republic”, edited by Brygida Ochaim and Julia Wallner for the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin, which also includes articles by Traub.
Therefore, the publicly displayed body is a political body: “a body that transcends the social and aesthetic boundaries of the times”, as Yvonne Hardt wrote in her article on expression dancers. Completely naked or scarce, transparent, and light clothing constitutes an “absolute dance”, which is an expression created by Mary Wigman.
The dancing body inspired George Kolbe
Provocative themes, exemplary liberation from femininity and beauty, morality and traditional concepts, which are usually considered outdated. It can produce more pornographic and worse effects, just like Anita Berber (Anita Berber), she died of drug addiction.
The catalog is accompanied by an exhibition showing paintings, sculptures, photographs, and film excerpts, covering the artistic intentions and fate of the 11 dancers who inspired the sculptor Georg Kolbe-according to his own words, he is “a very passionate artist Supporters”. Dancing, dancing body”. After visiting performances or taking photos, he attracted dancers partially based on memory, such as the case of Vaslav Nijinsky, but he let Charlotte Bara in His studio in order to be able to sketch the dance quietly.
Photos as documents of women’s sports art
The extremes of the Weimar Republic are also reflected in the position of dancers.Dornier’s first seaplane with eight passengers took off and landed safely again Opel Driving a rocket engine through a crowd of spectators at a speed of 260 kilometers per hour, the corset flies into the corner, the skirt and the hem of the skirt slide upward, the female hair is cut to the length of the chin, and the people are driving at the speed of the machine. Sprinting, the same greed for speed spreads to all areas of life, awakening the desire for other noises-this kind of time also brings a desire for body confidence, longing for the so-called nature, passionate sports, nude culture, guitar music . Between these extremes of life attitudes and changes in the life world and viewpoints, people have to imagine the pursuit of artistic expression.
You can’t see what the dancer Vera Skoronel looked like when she jumped, using a 35mm camera to record how she landed. The literature of modern women’s sports art is mainly photos. All the energy, flowing or explosive, soft, yielding or fast, the cruelty of her solo dance or sports choir can only be guessed, further thought and imagined.
