Pina Bausch was born in 1940 in Solingen, Germany, during her life Pina became one of the most influential figures of dance theater and physical theatre. Pina's unique style and techniques have changed the way many professionals now look at theatrical creation. During her early years Pina received dance training at the Folkwang School in Essen with Kurt Jooss. While studying at Folkwang Pina acquired extraordinary dance technique. After leaving Folkwang Pina continued to manage theaters in Wuppertal. Not long after he ran the Wuppertal theaters, the name was changed in 1973 to Tanztheater Wuppertal. Once the name was changed, the Tanztheater seemed to face much controversy, but over time it gained worldwide recognition. He decided he wanted his dancers to represent feelings rather than a plot. Pina Bausch, although she had many people who disagreed with her style of dance theatre, many say it was not dance, but for many it inspired and overall changed the way physical theater practitioners create theatre.'Bausch sought to bring back emotion and expression through the body, rejecting the aesthetic beauty of codified classical dance.'(Amy Watson. (2011). Pina Bausch and the Style of Dance Theatre. Last accessed 10/10/2013.) Practitioners of physical theater have embodied Pina Bausch's dance style and since the 1980s have been creating stage shows that require the actor to portray raw emotion rather than a particular plot. Is this why so many physical theater companies in the UK produce productions that consist of hardship, struggle, love and even creating productions heavily based on the current political climate? When physical theater companion...... middle of paper ......d from. Minor questions that are difficult to answer very little, slowly Bausch began to ask more complex questions to arouse emotions. Creating an environment where dancers are constantly questioned about how they move and what their intentions are behind each movement. Bausch asked these questions so that his interpreters would simulate real experiences. Bausch would never ask his interpreters to recreate a moment they experienced but to explain it, explain why and what? Why did they feel this way? What did your body go through when it had that certain emotional experience? This then converts past experiences into a representational form. Rather than receiving rigorous and limiting direction, Pina Bausch's technique had the ability to let her theatrical style transcend through representational restoration through her performers' past experiences.
