Philippine "Pina" Bausch (27 July 1940 – 30 June 2009) was a German dancer and choreographer who, with a blend of movement, sound, and prominent stage sets, and with performers during the development of a piece (a style now known as Tanztheater), became an influence in the field of modern dance from the 1970s on.
She created the company Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, which performs internationally.
Early life
Bausch was born in Solingen, the daughter of August and Anita Bausch, who owned a restaurant with guest rooms which is where she was born. The restaurant provided Pina with a venue to start performing at a very young age. She would perform for all of the guests in the hotel and occasionally go into their rooms and dance while they were trying to read the newspaper. It was then that her parents saw her potential.
Personal life
Bausch was married to Dutch-born Rolf Borzik, a set and costume designer who died of leukaemia in 1980. Later that year, she met Ronald Kay, and in 1981 they had a son, Rolf Salomon Bausch.
Career
At the age of 14, Bausch was accepted into Kurt Jooss' Folkwangschule.
Bausch graduated from the German Academic Exchange Service in 1959 to continue her studies at the Juilliard School in New York City, where her teachers included Antony Tudor, José Limón, Alfredo Corvino, and Paul Taylor. Bausch was soon performing with Tudor at the Metropolitan Opera Ballet Company and with Paul Taylor at New American Ballet. Taylor took Bausch with him when he was invited to premiere a new work named Tablet in Spoleto, Italy. Bausch performed with the Paul Sanasardo and Donya Feuer Dance Company in New York and collaborated on two pieces with them in 1961. "New York is like a jungle, but at the same time it gives you the feeling of complete freedom." Pina said in New York City. I have discovered myself in these two years.
Bausch appeared as a soloist in Jooss' new Folkwang-Ballett (Folkwang Ballet) in 1962, and aided Jooss on several of the pieces. Fragmente (Fragments), her first piece, was choreographed in 1968 by her, to Béla Bartók's music. Jooss succeeded Jooss as the company's artistic director in 1969.
