The Pina Bausch Foundation can provide archive materials relating to the work of Pina Bausch, including but not limited to her work with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. Archival material includes photographs, video, and audio recordings. Archive materials cannot be made available for private use.

Should I refer directly to the selected archive object in my inquiry?

Direct reference to specific objects helps the Foundation to process the inquiry. In the contact form, for example, the permalink of the object can be entered under “used or required material.”

Requests take approx. 14 working days to process. Depending on the material requested, it may take longer for the Foundation to make it accessible.

What rights can the Pina Bausch Foundation grant?

The Pina Bausch Foundation is responsible for the copyright to Pina Bausch’s pieces and choreographies and Rolf Borzik’s costumes and stage designs. It also holds the copyrights to the photographic work of Ulli Weiss.
