In 1924 Dorothee Günther and Carl Orff founded a School for Gymnastics and
Dance whose influence unfolded between the years of the Weimar Republic and the
end of the
Second World War. In this book seven authors delve into the dance, music,
pedagogy and history of this school in which Carl Orff's idea of
Elemental Music took shape. The comprehensive documentation section of
the
book includes articles by Günther and Orff from the 1920s and 30s and reviews of
related artistic and
educational works, as well as largely unpublished photographs. Out of these
elements emerges a multifaceted and lively picture of this unique approach to the
art of
dancing
and improvisatory music practice, arising out of the kindred collaboration
between the dancer Maja Lex and the musician Gunild Keetman.Authors
include: Christine Morawa, Michael Kugler, Barbara Haselbach, Hermann Regner,
Graziela Padilla, Minna Ronnefeld, and Manuela Widmer.Book, 271
pages.
