This exhibition introduces the lives and work of around 30 dancers and choreographers of Ausdruckstanz, or German expressionist dance, who fled Nazism. Through text and video, it examines the twin perspectives of the impact they had on the dance scenes in the respective countries where they sought refuge, as well as the influences and new ideas they brought back with them from exile when they returned to Germany after 1945. A reception is held on November 4th, open to all members of the public.
