Studying Pina Bausch

In today's lesson we focused mainly on Pina Bausch, and how she was well known in physical theatre. We started off with a meditation where we exercised our muscles, breathing and posture. Sir said something interesting about leaving your personality and personal trates at the door. At first I found it difficult to completely loose myself. But after the meditation I felt a lot more relaxed and comfortable with my environment. We also did a workout for 5 minutes. After I felt exhausted and drained. But although it ruined me physically, I felt alive and refreshed mentally. The exercise was a small snip into the lives of Pina Bausch dancers. We were told the Pina Bausch would do this to her Dancers for a longer period of time and the workouts would be far more intense.
