- Time differences
It is clear from the living times of the two great dancers that they lived in different times with Wigman having the peak of her career in the early 40s while Pina was active up to the close of the 20th century and even in the beginning of the 21sst century. The differences create Pina as an image of a modern dancer who found the stage well set without much hindrance. On the other hand, Wigman was among the pioneers who were responsible for setting the stage. It follows that Pina’s dance is based on experience learnt from others and overcoming categorization limitations previously consistent with previous dance styles. If the both artists lived in the same times, Wigman could have come out stronger because of her strong resolve …show more content…
Dance is also about bringing out guttural emotions that are innate to the human body.
From both ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’ and ‘Café Muller’, there is contrast or lack of consistence because the ‘rite of spring’ illustrates anger, emotions and suspense while ‘café Muller’ is a repetitive piece which if not carefully studied can be bring out of lack of rhythm. From the lead dancer, the ‘rite of spring’ illustrates what is desirable in a dance which is relationships, passion and resentment. From Wigman, dance does not necessarily have to incorporate costumes because the dance comes from within. This is not the case with Pina because her pieces have costumes as an integral part.
Choreography
Wigman’s idea of dancing body and emotion in many respects depict that the emotions that derive dancing are not just mental ideas but they are physically embodied meaning the body moves in accordance to what it feels. Therefore, emotions are responsible for the development of vague elements that are possessed by great dancers. It follows therefore that free dancing is not subject to choreography but has elements of …show more content…

The rebellious culture in the modern German dance also characterizes invention of new steps foreign to the routine rather than following a certain structure in the dance. It can be said that the approach to culture is almost similar because both use dance in giving messages to their societies.
"Mary Wigman-Schule"/“Ausdrückstanz” versus ‘Tanztheater’
It is common for great artists to leave a legacy by training others in their art and skills. As mentioned above, Mary wignman’s expressionist dance was taught in her school the “Mary Wigman-Schule” which was seen to rival the conventional music schools that only specialized in ballet.
On the other hand, the ‘Tanztheater’ was not a school per se but a company that run independently. However, it is from the ‘Tanztheater’ that many other artists were brought to the dancing platform and take on the work already started.
From the above, it is clear that the approach to passing on the art is different because Wigman opts for a school while Pina uses a company in creating influence on modern
