During the great social and artistic upheavals around 1900, one genre took on a whole new significance: modern dance, which developed into an independent artistic discipline. It not only liberated the body from the corset and the traditional classical step combinations of ballet. Movement is now allowed to be more than the highest technical mastery of the body, namely subjective, emotional and free.
The Edwin Scharff Museum is presenting two exhibitions entitled 'Dance Becomes Art', which illuminate the many facets of artistic dance. The first deals with the preconditions and beginnings in the period from 1892 to around 1914.
