Archs & Textures DWTN
From the venue:
Free outdoor site-specific dance performance.
Archs & Textures DWTN, a new site-specific performance piece by Bautanzt Here, explores the unique architectural character of Atlanta’s Central Library, which was designed in Brutalist style by Hungarian-born Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer.
Bautanzt Here artists were inspired by the range of shapes found inside and outside of the library — the lattice patterns, the blend of cement and wooden textures, and the monumental staircase structures. We also approached the building from a humanistic perspective, imagining how it might express itself if it could feel emotions. The building might feel like a stranger, an outsider, even an immigrant, next to the buildings more standard-looking for the area.
