In 2008, world-famous dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch selected 40 teenagers who had never heard her name to be part of her dance piece Contact Zone. For 10 months through opening night, the young dancers discover Bausch's genius and their own bodies. A sensation at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival, Dancing Dreams is a testament to Bausch's revolutionary work. Pina Bausch died in 2009.
Review
Electrified audiences! While the film serves as a fitting elegy for Bausch, it also speaks to young people seeking creative fulfillment...a stimulating examination of the many ways in which art can give an electric charge to everyday experience. --The Hollywood Reporter
