Infamously cited as saying ‘I am not interested in how people move but what moves them’, Pina Bausch (1940-2009) was a German choreographer, dancer and filmmaker revered for revolutionising modern dance. She pioneered the dance theatre movement in the latter half of the 20th century and her company, the Tanztheater Wuppertal, encompassed elements of dance, theatre, and performance art, exploring complex emotions and human relationships.
