Pina Bausch: Cafe Muller

Sadly this week we are faced with another death of an extremely talented and influential artist. Pina Bausch the groundbreaking German choreographer has passed away. Her unique choreography, oddball humor, use of speech and human movement on stage helped to define a whole new medium in Modern dance. She was a great personal hero of mine. She leaves a legacy of deeply touching and life changing choreography. I am planning a night with my college dance "crew" to watch her old performances together, and then watch old videos of ourselves attempting so desperately to be half as deep, wise or beautiful. Good night sweet Pina..
