German choreographer Pina Bausch is dead at 68. Her creativity and imagination breathed fresh life into concert dance and her choreography captured emotion on a whole new scale. Her version of the "Rite of Spring" is the only choreography I have seen (other than the reconstruction of Nijinsky's original work) that is powerful enough to stand up to Stravinsky's score. She will be sorely missed in the dance community.
