Abstract

The current study aim at eliciting artistic characteristics and features of expressions of cultural diversity in works of Pina Bausch who did her creative activity by deeply thinking about what makea people move and what meanings movement have in their lives. Therefore, research methods of this study are involved with discussing the theoretical background by eliciting the concept of cultural diversity and its relations with the art of dance based on pluralism, and we are analyzing the way cultural pluralism is expressed in Pina Bausch's pieces of dance focusing on "Mazurka fogo" and "Nefes", which won highest praise among her nation․city series pieces embodying not her culture but a variety of cultures in her works. Cultural pluralism in Pina Bausch's nation․city series pieces is a phenomenon based on her creative understanding of a culture, and it starts from understanding diverse societies where humans live. The expressive features of culture pluralism are displayed in the ways of use of languages of performed nations, active acceptance and expressions of various cultural lives of countries to be expressed, composition of fragments of cultural routine, active use of each nation's original cultural movements, etc. As mentioned above, for Pina Bausch a variety of cultures is employed as expression media for creating works and based on interpretation of various cultures, many cultures are mixed in one work to embody one piece of dance. In that sense, it can be said that her works are deeply related to the direction of contemporary dance creation pursuing globalization. Accordingly, this study can propose a perspective that choreographers living in the age of pluralism now should lead globally good creative activities, having cultural interpretation ability along with active understanding of various cultures as well as accepting their own cultures.
