In this program from SHARE The Dance Intensive, you will have the extraordinary opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Pina Bausch's most praised works and choreographic language. During 6 days, you will study and explore every aspect of Pina's works and creation process, with props and accessories. This new program combines a workshop and an intensive driven by research, development, and theory sessions. This is a perfect program and opportunity to learn more about Pina Bausch's broadly acclaimed work. You will work under the direction and mentorship of Ditta Miranda Jasjfi and Rainer Behr from Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch Company.
SHARE Study is designed in close collaboration with Ditta Miranda Jasjfi and Rainer Behr, and the Pina Bausch Foundation, aligning with the high standards and concept of our existing programs.
About Ditta Miran Jajsfi
At the age of twelve, Ditta Miranda Jasjfi saw a performance of The Rite of Spring in Jakarta, Indonesia – and never imagined that dancers such as Lutz Förster or Susanne Linke might become her colleagues one day. Born in 1967, she lived in Paris with her parents at the time and was frequently taken to the ballet. She recalls, “I could never sit still – I wanted to join in right away.” Back in Jakarta, she continued to take dance classes, studying ballet and other traditional dances from Bali, Sumatra and Western and Eastern Java that have shaped her movement quality to this day.
Although she initially only came to Germany to learn German at the Goethe-Institut, she took the opportunity to audition for the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen. She impressed the panel – and so it happened that Ditta Miranda Jasjfi moved to Europe and stayed. After studying dance in Essen for four years, she joined the Folkwang Tanzstudio in 1993, which at the time was jointly led by Pina Bausch and Lutz Förster. When she asked if she could transfer to the Tanztheater Wuppertal, Lutz Förster told her that she was too young. “Even though I was already 27!” Today, Ditta concedes that she looked very young at the time. In 1994, she went to Bremen for six years with Susanne Linke and Urs Dietrich. At another audition in 2000, she convinced Pina Bausch to accept her into the company. “Pina was sceptical at first, thinking I was too short. 1.5m might work for a solo, but in a group?” Eventually Ditta Miranda Jasjfi was cast in the role of The Chosen One in The Rite of Spring.
About Rainer Behr
1964 in Neustadt a. d. Born in Waldnaab, Rainer Behr initially trained as a gymnastics teacher in Berlin before starting his dance studies at the Folkwang University in Essen in 1986, where he studied classical ballet, modern dance and folklore dance. While still studying, Behr received first prize at the choreographer competition in Cagliari in 1989 for his duo "The Turn of Things" and was awarded the Claassen Dance Prize in 1990. In the same year he joined the Folkwang Tanzstudio and danced in productions by Urs Dietrich, Susanne Linke, Mark Sieczkarek, Carolyn Carlson and Raffaella Giordano until 1995. At the same time, he realized his own choreographies with this company such as: "Red Roses", "Lonely Kingdom", "ButterflyRiverMountin SunMoon" and showed solo choreographies. Rainer Behr has been a member of the Wuppertal Dance Theater under Pina Bausch since 1995.
