Not only has McCall undertaken the archival research necessary for the reconstructor; she comes to Schlemmer’s work with a breadth of vision that encompasses the work of his contemporaries and of succeeding generations….In the view of the Bauhaus Dances she presents, humans are at the center of art, and of the world.”
