Description

Pina Bausch's Aggressive Tenderness Repurposing Theater Through Dance explores the work of renowned choreographer Pina Bausch through various methodologies of theater and film practitioners. This book examines Bausch's pieces, including Sacre du Printemps, Kontakthof, Café Müller, Nelken, Arien, and Vollmond, in relation to theoretical conversations and works by other artists inspired by her.

Arendell connects the content expressed in these pieces with personal insights and experiences, providing an academic yet personally insightful examination of Bausch's Tanztheater. The book highlights how Bausch's work engages a kinaesthetic language, which Arendell translates into a somaesthetic exploration to pair a repurposed body ethic with movements that present new forms of embodiment.

Ideal for students of dance and theater, Pina Bausch's Aggressive Tenderness offers a unique perspective on Bausch's innovative approach to the performing arts. With 144 pages of in-depth analysis, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of dance, theater, and film.
