Subtle Architekturen: The Transient Nature of Spatial Order was developed for the 90th anniversary of the Bauhaus in Jena, Germany. The evolution of this specific triad of performances was influenced by my research into the history of the Bauhaus school, specifically the work of Oskar Schlemmer and the 'Triadic Ballet'. I used a DDR ruler and heavy chalk to demarcate my locations, strict lines in contrast to abstract gestures performed in public space.
