German choreographer Pina Bausch, artistic director of the Tanztheater Wuppertal, has been chosen as one of three winners of the 23rd annual Kyoto Prizes for Lifetime Achievement, awarded by the Inamori Foundation in Japan.
Bausch, 66, along with University of Tokyo chemist Hiroo Inokuchi, 80, and Caltech emeritus professor Hiroo Kanamori, 70, will receive a gold medal and 50 million yen (approximately $410,000) during ceremonies Nov. 9 in Kyoto. The trio also will participate in a Kyoto Laureate Symposium in San Diego, March 12-14.
Bausch was honored for “opening up a new dimension in the theatrical arts that transcends the conventional domains of dance and theater.”
