Over the course of her career, Philippina “Pina” Bausch broke down the boundaries between dance and theatre, and pioneered a new direction for theatrical art. This is the first volume to gather and document Bausch’s spoken legacy, including newspaper and television interviews, a text about her first season in Wuppertal, and her speeches at the Kyoto Prize awards ceremony in 2007. The choreographer of modern dance expresses herself through words, pictures, movements, and moods, and discusses the formative experiences of her life, such as her childhood in Solingen, training at the Juilliard School in New York, and encounters with teachers and colleagues.
