# Bauhaus Stage × Dance Notation — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=bauhaus-stage+dance-notation
# Bauhaus Stage carries the structure. Dance Notation appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Bauhaus Stage (Style, 1921–1929) and its accent from Dance Notation (Style, 1700– / 1928 Laban). Structural cues: Geometrized bodies; Costumes of spheres and cones; Three acts by color; Choreography as spatial figure. Accent cues, used sparingly: Time climbing a vertical staff; Columns of direction symbols; Body parts as columns; Trajectory abstracted. Composition: Think in plan and elevation, set positions on a drawn floor grid. Type and lettering: Geometric sans only, sized by the ratio of circle to square. Let one material quality come from the second style: Symbol length equals duration, so run a beat scale down the edge. Mood: Play, Futurism, Technology, Calm, Rebellion. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 221 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Bauhaus Stage: Gluing spheres and cones onto a costume without choreographing the body as a moving form leaves only a geometric fancy dress party.
# - Dance Notation: Bending symbol length to capture how a move feels makes duration unreadable, and the revival comes out as a different dance.
