More Info Pina Bausch Born in Solingen, Germany in 1940, Pina Bausch began her dancestudies at the age of 15 at the Folkwang School in Essen, where shestudied with several teachers, including the renowned expressionistchoreographer Kurt Jooss. In 1959 she graduated and was awarded theFolkwang prize for special achievement. With a stipend from the GermanAcademic Exchange Service (DAAD), Bausch went to New York in 1960 tostudy at The Juilliard School with Anthony Tudor, José Limon, LouisHorst, Alfredo Corvino, Margaret Craske, and La Meri, among others. Atthe same time she performed with the Paul Sanasardo and Donya FeuerDance Company and the New American Ballet. Bausch later became a memberof the Metropolitan Opera's ballet company and also worked with PaulTaylor. She has remarked that her two years in New York were among themost influential in her early life and that when she thinks of NewYork, she feels a sense of homesickness. In 1962, Bausch returned to Germany where she became a soloist inthe newly-formed Folkwang Ballett, working once again with Kurt Jooss,and also with Hans Zülig, and especially with Jean Cébron. Herchoreographic career began in 1968 with Fragmente, followed by Im Windder Zeit (In the Wind of Time), which later won first prize at theSecond International Choreographic Competition in Cologne. Bausch hassaid that her impetus for taking up choreography was out of thefrustration of wanting something to dance.
