Wenders had been planning a film with Bausch for years, but his 3D documentary only took shape after her death in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who else is involved?<\/strong> <br>Bausch\u2019s extraordinary dancers, who made their lives and careers with her in the German town of Wuppertal. Their ideas and experiences are fully involved in the work, and many danced with her over decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Look out for?<\/strong> <br>Wuppertal\u2019s arresting townscape, an unlikely home for one of the world\u2019s great dance companies. Wenders films intense moments form Bausch\u2019s work in the downbeat town centre and woodland outskirts \u2013 and also on one of the glories of public transport, the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwebebahn.de\/en\/\">schwebebahn<\/a><\/em>: the upside-down suspended tram system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trailer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pina (2011) - Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F-cV74Mq7KU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8216;A thirst for newness&#8217;: Theo Clinkard introduces <em>Pina<\/em><\/strong><br>The British choreographer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoclinkard.com\/\">Theo Clinkard<\/a> is one of the handful of artists to have made work for Bausch\u2019s company since her death.

He said explained that Bausch rejected any biographical content in the film. \u2018That was the rule of the game from the beginning; she kept her private life very secret, and rightfully so. Pina herself was not good at words \u2013 she was a very funny person in private, but actually never really managed to say much about her art. That\u2019s why it became a film that doesn\u2019t rely on language.\u2019 <br>            He also described his first encounter with Bausch\u2019s work, when he saw <em>Caf\u00e9 Muller<\/em>. \u2018I couldn\u2019t believe that somebody in 40 minutes was able to tell you more about men and women than the entire history of cinema. It still blows my mind\u2026 She created a true anthology of behaviour about the rejection and attraction between men and women. There\u2019s almost nothing left to say.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch Pina with Lockdown Theatre Club on Tuesday 21 April.
