Updated 2026-05-29
Pina Bausch turned dance into something messier and more human—mixing raw movement with elaborate staging and sound in ways that rippled through modern performance from the 1970s onward. Her company Tanztheater Wuppertal became the vehicle for an entire new language of the body.
Biography
About
Philippine "Pina" Bausch was a German dancer and choreographer who was a significant contributor to a neo-expressionist dance tradition now known as Tanztheater. Bausch's approach was noted for a stylised blend of dance movement, prominent sound design, and involved stage sets, as well as for engaging the dancers under her to help in the development of a piece, and her work had an influence on modern dance from the 1970s forward. She created the company Tanztheater Wuppertal, which performs internationally.
