Performance Art pages 95-114

In this section of the book I learned that the Bauhaus was a teaching institution for the arts that opened in 1919. Unlike the rebellious futurist or dada provocations, the Bauhaus manifesto was the unification of all the arts in a cathedral of socialism. This community of the Bauhaus was held together as much by its manifesto as by the social events they organized. These events were held so that the group could experiment with performance examples. "Man and Machine" was a piece that combined the Bauhaus manifesto with the Russian Constructivist. The stage and costumes was designed to make the human figure into a machine/mechanical type object. The Bauhaus manifesto also combined their style with painting and ballet along with the Russian Constructivists' styles.
