What is Pina Bausch's Dance Theatre: Tracing the Evolution of Tanztheater (Edinburgh Critical Studies in Modernism, Drama and Performance) about?

First full-scale thematic analysis of Pina Bauschs Tanztheater, critically evaluating the impact of modernist theatre on her choreographic method This book presents a new reading of Pina Bauschs dance theatre, orienting it within an international legacy of performance practice. The discussion considers not only the influence of German and American modern dance on Bauschs work but, crucially, interrogates parallels with modernist and postdramatic theatre (including Antonin Artaud, Samuel Beckett, Jerzy Grotowski, and Robert Wilson), the influence of which has been largely neglected in existing studies of her oeuvre. Pina Bauschs Dance Theatre provides a wide-ranging study of Bauschs aesthetic and methods of practice, with case studies ranging from the beginning of her career to her final choreographies.
