This week I have seen the new film about Pina Bausch twice and have been inspired and amazed both times. The film is called Pina. A German dancer and choreographer, she seems to have been a woman of few words, expressing herself instead through her own body and that of her dancers. The body is used to express that which is beyond words, underneath words. Surely a connection here with something I'm attempting to do in the studio with my figures. But she is a master. As she said to one of her dancers: you've just got to get crazier. See the film and you'll know what she meant.
It was even better that we drove for miles through the English countryside to sit amongst an unlikely crowd at Wotton Under Edge to catch a glimpse of such touching and inspiring human truth revealed in such unexpected ways.
