The exhibition „DANCE!“ at the Kunsthalle Mannheim is dedicated to the diverse relationship between dance and visual art. Over a span of more than 125 years, the presentation shows how movement, body, rhythm, and choreographic ideas become visible in different artistic media.
On display are painting, sculpture, and drawing among others. The selection is complemented by stage costumes, installations, and performances. This opens up various approaches to the theme of dance and makes it clear that choreographed movement can play an important role not only on stage but also in static and spatial artworks.
Dance between Movement and Image
“DANCE!” examines the connection between two fields of art that work with body, space, and time in different ways. While dance arises immediately through movement, visual artworks can capture, suggest, or translate movements into new forms. The exhibition invites one to consider these interactions through various genres and forms of expression.
The combination of historical and contemporary media creates a varied exhibition experience. Painting, sculpture, and drawing are just as central as costumes and installations. Performances add a temporal and lively dimension to the exhibition.

The exhibition is aimed at anyone interested in dance, art history, and the connection between different artistic disciplines. Visitors who are engaging with the relationship between dance and visual art for the first time will also find different perspectives on the topic here.
