\n<\/span><\/p>\nSadler’s Wells and the Barbican Centre are collaborating for the first time to present a season of works by the late German choreographer Pina Bausch. <\/p>\n
The month-long World Cities 2012 season will feature 10 works inspired by countries that Bausch, who died in 2009, visited during her career.<\/p>\n
Seven of the works exploring locations including India, Rome and Japan, will be receiving their UK premieres.<\/p>\n
The series will be performed in London from 6 June to 9 July 2012.<\/p>\n
The productions will be presented by Bausch’s company, Tanztheater Wuppertal, as part of the Cultural Olympiad.<\/p>\n
Six works will be shown at Sadler’s Wells and four at the Barbican. <\/p>\n
Bausch began the project in 1986, which was created at the invitation of specific cities around the world. <\/p>\n
Living in each location for a period of time, the chroreographer’s company would then return to Wuppertal to create a new work inspired by their visit. <\/p>\n
In a joint statement, Sadler’s Wells and the Barbican said: “We are thrilled to be working together to realise World Cities, a hugely ambitious cultural event at a time when global attention will be focused on London. <\/p>\n
“Pina Bausch’s work is truly Olympian in quality and scale, and her legacy continues to influence the global artistic landscape.”<\/p>\n
Dominique Mercy and Robert Sturm, the co-artistic directors of Tanztheater Wuppertal, said the season was “an amazing and outstanding homage to Pina Bausch”.<\/p>\n
They added that it is “a great honour” to perform as part of the Olympic celebrations.<\/p>\n
Bausch, whose work is credited with revolutionising the language of modern dance, died aged 68 in 2009, five days after being diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n
Shortly before her death, Bausch began collaborating with director Wim Wenders on a documentary film, capturing the process of dance on film in 3D. <\/p>\n
It will be released in the UK on 22 April 2011.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
