TEN CHI

The Pina Bausch dance piece TEN CHI from 2004, created on a trip to Tokyo and in co-production with the Saitama Prefecture, Saitama Arts Foundation and the Nippon Cultural Centre, meets Japanese artist Juuri from Oklahoma City, whose lively works are inspired by traditional Japanese motifs and painting techniques.

The Pina Bausch Gallery WUPPERTAL TANZT is a tribute to the dance choreographer Pina Bausch in the public space of the city of Wuppertal. WUPPERTAL TANZT are 10 international murals for 10 local districts - 10 dance stories, 10 countries, 10 artists, 10 views and 10 perspectives. This is a piece of internationality for every district of Wuppertal, a presentation of different cultures, captured in movement and transformed into art. WUPPERTAL TANZT explores Pina Bausch's 15 international dance co-productions and transforms them from dance art into wall art.

The street artists come from the cities of the dance co-productions: The cultural colouring of the dance art is to be reflected in the cultural colouring of the wall art.
