Pina bausch
Pina Bausch
.offered position of the direction of Tanz theatre Wuppertal in 1973.
.combined dance and theatre to create a genre that asks the dancers to draw from their own emotions and experiences to create this subjective but fragment work.
.the theatre doesn't tell a story, it coveys feelings vis physical, vocal and visual images.
Bausch influences-
.Anthony Tudor-developed phycological ballet
.Rudolf Laban-movement theoretician.
what makes Bausch's work different?
chorographers have always aimed to reach us through movement of their steps but for bausch the use of movement as emotive gesture and as a carrier of an individuals experiences is expressed physical through the body of her dancers.
themes in Bausch's work-
."I'm not so much interested in how people move but what moves them"
."the work is...about relationships ,childhood, fear of death and how much we all want to be loved.
use of repetition-
this is to bring her point across she begins with a specific emotion and builds movement around it to show what its like to be in physiological trauma and how one may continue to repeat these same experiences.
use of relationship's-
."I have tried to see them and talk about them. I don't know anything more important".
.memories and fear
The legacy of Pina Bausch-
.Bausch appears to create, with such ease and fluid.
,the rite of spring
.café muller-slower more elegant gestures
Task one-
The style of European Tanz theatre and the style of Pina Bausch uses the dance style of contempary in order to show the dancers emotions and how there feeling. chorographers have always aimed to reach us through movement of their steps but for Bausch the use of movement as emotive gesture and as a carrier of an individuals experiences is expressed physical through the body of her dancers. Pina Bausch combined dance and theatre to create a genre that asks the dancers to draw from their own emotions and experiences to create this subjective but fragment work. Bausch used very elegant music like percelles baroque opera which is what she used in her landmark piece café muller. She used this type of music as it was easy for the dancers to drift with the music and move in a way that expresses there emotions fluently. Pina used drama that related to the audience so that may include a past trauma, childhood experience or an event that plays over and over in your mind. The drama piece repeats an action of this event over and over to get across to the audience how that plays in your mind.

The rite of springs
As you can see in the picture:
.the dancers danced on a ground full of mud as a prop in order to make the performance more effective.
.by the end of the performance the dancers where absolutely covered in dirt and sweat.
.the dancers aren't wearing stereotypical dance clothes and the correct hairstyle for the dance style for the piece which contrasts to Fredrick ashtons work where his dancers are stereotyped and dressed like typical ballerinas.
.the dance very much expressed there feelings instead of a storyline there was solos, duos and all sorts.
