Philippine "Pina" Bausch (1940 to 2009) was a German dancer and choreographer who was a major contributor to the neo-expressionist dance tradition now known as Tanztheater. Her approach was noted for a stylized blend of dance movement, prominent sound design and elaborate stage sets, along with a practice of engaging the dancers she worked with in developing each piece; her work influenced modern dance from the 1970s forward. She founded the company Tanztheater Wuppertal, which performs internationally.
