继MJ之后，另一光辉黯淡了下去。。。

Pina Bausch, the choreographer and exponent of the Neo-Expressionist form of German dance known as Tanztheater, died Tuesday in Wuppertal. She was 68.

The Wuppertal Dance Theater in western Germany, where she had served as director, announced the death. It did not give the cause, but said Ms. Bausch’s ”unexpectedly fast” death came five days after a cancer diagnosis, the Associated Press reported.

In a review of Ms. Bausch’s “Bamboo Blues” that was performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in December, Alastair Macaulay wrote that her work could be “strikingly picturesque, always fluid in its comings and goings” as it “switches between episodes of sensual impulsiveness; coy, catwalklike audience-awareness; rushing scenes of harrowing need or anxiety; and diverse aspects of melancholia.”

碧娜·鲍许（Pina Bausch，全名Philippine "Pina" Bausch，1940年7月27日－2009年6月30日），出生于德国索林根（Solingen），是一位知名的现代舞编舞者（choreographer）。她在舞蹈风格中著名的德国舞蹈剧场（Tanztheater）发展上有非常重要的贡献及影响。她是位于德国乌帕塔的“乌帕塔舞蹈剧场”（Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch）的艺术总监（artistic director）及编舞者。这个舞团有许多原创的固定舞码，并且时常在世界各地巡回演出。碧娜·鲍许的舞蹈剧场（Tanztheater）在今日已和美国后现代舞蹈（Postmodern dance）及日本舞踏（Butoh）并列为当代三大新舞蹈流派。【WiKi】
