Dancing with Death — On The Rite of Spring & common ground[s]

Today we're joined by LMU dance student Katie Tuchi to discuss The Rite of Spring, which was choreographed by the late Pina Bausch and recently performed at The Music Center in Los Angeles. We also talk about common ground[s], a remarkable work created, performed and inspired by dance icons Germaine Acogny and Malou Airaudo, which was performed before and prepared us for The Rite of Spring. Tune in as we explore the history of these pieces and the dynamics of age, race, and gender that emerge in the performances.   Resources The Rite of Spring and common ground[s] at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Watch a video trailer of the performance Learn more about the history of The Rite of Spring
