Pina Bausch Lab – The Rite of Spring

TanzAreal & Tanz Karlsruhe Festival
Karlsruhe | November 21–22, 2026

In collaboration with the Pina Bausch Foundation, TanzAreal and the Tanz Karlsruhe Festival present a two-day Pina Bausch Lab led by Luiza Braz Batista.
Centered on The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps / Das Frühlingsopfer), the workshop invites participants to experience one of the most groundbreaking works in dance history from within. Through repertory material, guided exploration, and embodied practice, dancers will engage with the physical, musical, and emotional dimensions that define Pina Bausch's choreographic language.
The Lab is led by Luiza Braz Batista, guest artist with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch since 2008 and official rehearsal director and restager for the Pina Bausch Foundation. Her extensive experience performing and transmitting Pina Bausch's repertoire provides participants with direct access to the artistic processes behind this iconic work.
The Pina Bausch Lab is intended for professional dancers and advanced dance students. A limited number of listener (observer) places are also available at a reduced fee for those wishing to follow the working process from an observational perspective.
