Bandoneon: Working with Pina Bausch is a new translation of Raimund Hoghe’s original rehearsal diary that documented the legendary Tanztheater Wuppertal’s work on Bandoneon (1980), illustrated with photos of the production by Ulli Weiss, and personal images and notes from the dancers.

This unique book records the method Pina Bausch developed and used, as seen by one of her close collaborators, Raimund Hoghe, who worked as dramaturg for the company for a decade (1979–1989).

It follows the work from the first day in rehearsals to its premiere, chronicling the process with artistic sensibility – Bausch’s famous questions, the dancers’ responses and Hoghe’s own reflections as the piece develops.

This important document sees its first English language publication, and is succinctly translated from the German by Penny Black. The diary is accompanied by an Introduction and A Portrait by Katalin Trencs�nyi, following Hoghe’s journey from being a journalist to becoming an internationally acknowledged dancer-choreographer.

Bandoneon: Working with Pina Bausch is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the work of Pina Bausch and Raimund Hoghe.

About the Author

RAIMUND HOGHE worked as dramaturg from 1979 to 1989 for Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal, which became the subject matter of two of his books. His works have been translated into several languages and published in Brazil, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Since 1989 he has been creating his own theatre pieces for various dancers and actors.

In 1994 Hoghe produced his first solo for himself, Meinw�rts, which together with the subsequent Chambre s�par�e (1997) and Another Dream (2000) made up a trilogy on the 20th century. Raimund Hoghe's choreographies have been performed in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia, and were awarded with several dance prizes, including the 'Deutscher Produzentenpreis f�r Choreografie' (2001), the French Prix de la Critique (2006) for Swan Lake, 4 Acts.

In 2008 critics from the ballet-tanz magazine voted him to receive the 'Dancer of the Year' award.
