DADA<br />

• <strong>Dada</strong> became international as it spread from Zurich, to France, Germany<br />

and the United States<br />

• Its main strategy was to denounce and shock<br />

• A typical <strong>Dada</strong> evening consisted of poets reciting nonsense verse<br />

simultaneously in different languages while others barked like dogs.<br />

Orators hurled insults at the audience while absurdly costumed dancers<br />

danced around the stage<br />

“We spoke of <strong>Dada</strong> as a crusade that would win back the promised land of<br />

the creative”<br />

~ Jean Arp, a founder of <strong>Dada</strong>
