Pina Bausch (1940-2009)
Helmut Newton
With the recent passing of German modern dance choreographer Pina Bausch, we wanted to bring attention to her rich legacy. Pina’s work, which demanded that her dancers completely submit their souls to each piece, almost always incorporated a deliberately expressive landscape reality. Troupe member from 1977-1981, Gary Austin Crocker said of Pina, “Her desire was to reveal the viewer’s emotions through brutal visual impact.” Pina’s company, Tanztheatre Wuppertal, traveled and performed extensively throughout the world.
