"Dance disappears almost at the moment of its manifestation. It is an extreme expression of the present, a perfect metaphor for life. Dancers sculpt space in real time, working inside a form that is constantly in a state of vanishing. We have no artifacts. I find it strangely beautiful to be creating something that is made of us – made of our breath and blood and bones and minds. Something that is made of the space we occupy and made of the space between us. We embody both the dance and its disappearance."

PINA’S WORDS OF WISDOM
- “I’m not so interested in how they move as in what moves them.” ― Pina Bausch
- “To understand what I am saying, you have to believe that dance is something other than technique. We forget where the movements come from. They are born from life. When you create a new work, the point of departure must be contemporary life — not existing forms of dance.” ― Pina Bausch
- “Dance begins where words end.” ― Pina Bausch
- “Dance, Dance, Otherwise we are Lost.” ― Pina Bausch
Pick one quotation and spend some quiet time with it. Read it slowly, chew it diligently, taste it and feel it … Allow Pina’s words to read you perhaps, instead of your reading them.

Andre…I find myself thinking about this piece a lot. It’s beautiful, authentic, heart-breaking.
