Arguing that
politics and the arts are inevitably and necessarily entwined,
this is a rigorous and comprehensive (given its length) look
at many forms of dance under the Nazi regime from 1933 through
the bitter devastation at the end of WWII. Rich with archival
documentation, it includes glimpses of early New German Dance,
incredible mass spectacles of the 1936 Olympic festivities,
and wartime efforts to cheer and distract the populace with
glamour and cancans. Annette
von Wangenheim focuses on arguments within the
Nazi regime about the right use of dance, and on the fates of
key artists, interviewing former dancers Julia Marcus, Lilian
Karina and Gyp Schlicht. A contemporary work by Koni Hanft on
Expressionist Mary Wigman's relationship to Nazism frames a
history that considers how and why even founders of modern dance,
such as Wigman and Rudolph Laban, aligned themselves with, and
were initially supported by, the Nazis. Others like Karina and
Marcus, emigrated, ending their careers as dancers.

In 1998,
an ad appeared in the Wuppertal, Germany, newspaper inviting
seniors with no previous acting or dancing experience to audition
for parts in Pina Bausch's revival of her 1978 performance-piece
"Contact Zone." What happened to the 26 people who
responded to the ad and were ultimately chosen to participate
is the subject of "Ladies and Gentlemen Over 65,"
Lilo Mangelsdorff's expertly crafted documnetary.
Born
in Solingen in 1940, Pina Bausch
has been one of the most influential and controversial choreographers
and performance artists in the world. Her work has challenged
the formalist aesthetic of modern dance, inspired many generations
of dancers and choreographers, and provoked questions around
gender, violence, and society.(http://www.pina-bausch.de/biography.htm)
