Pina- dance film

Oh as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival I recently saw this beautiful dance film by Wen Wenders showing the work of German expressionist dancer / choreographer Pina Bausch. The 3D was just incredible in the water scene and leaves coming out of the screen and bouncing off audience members heads.

 

 

Reading

I have been reading this lovely autobiography of the New Zealand dancer, Douglas Wright. When I saw studying dance at university he dance work Gloria was one of my first inspirations. I really like that there are some very well written autobiographies coming out recently such as the Keith Richards and Patti Smith ones.
