In 2008, world-famous dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch selected 40 teenagers who had never heard of her to be part of the dance performance ‘A Place to Make Contact’ (Kontakthof). They spent the next ten months falling in love with dance and discovering the work of Pina Bausch.

 

DANCING DREAMS is a testimony to Bausch's revolutionary work and the impact she has had on the contemporary dance movement.
