Oskar Schlemmer:

"Man stands in the cultural, abstract space of the stage. Man and space. Each has different laws of order. Whose shall prevail? Either abstract space is adapted in deference to natural man and transformed back into nature or imitation of nature . . . or natural amn, in deference to abstract space, iis recast to fit its mold. The laws of cultural space are the invisible linear networks of planemetric and stereometric relationahips."

"Man as dancer is the medium of transition into the great world of the theater."
