An anti-Nazi exile turned fearless electronic pioneer, who had been a dancer in the Weimar Republic and worked both with Max Reinhardt and with Peter Zinovieff? Who nobody had ever heard of? I smelled a rat, but was wrong: Berk was very real. He was one of many dancers who fled Nazism and ended up at Dartington Hall, a school founded by wealthy hobbyists in Devon which has been slightly fancifully described as the \u2018English Bauhaus\u2019; he danced and choreographed at Glyndebourne and Covent Garden, and in the 1950s, became interested in the electronic music that was emerging out of his native Cologne. Berk gradually built a studio in Camden where he would be able to compose music for his own ballets…<\/p>\n Owen Hatherley<\/a> on the legacy of the emigr\u00e9 composers who found refuge in Britain from the 1930s on<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 “…distant and unrelated juxtapositions are at the very heart of Surrealism\u2014both in France and in Japan.” Leanne Ogasawara<\/a> on Surrealism in Japan.<\/p>\n \u2022 “What\u2019s happening?
