Dancing Dreams is a 2010 film by Anne Linsel that follows the staging of the performance Kontakthof, one of Pina Bausch's historic masterpieces, re-staged (many years after its debut in the late 1970s) for a group of non-dancer teenagers. Two masterful performers from the Tanztheater Wuppertal, Josephine Ann Endicott and Bénédicte Billiet, select the young participants and teach them the piece. During rehearsals, the sensitivities, insecurities, and passions of a community of teenagers emerge as they confront the captivating gestural and expressive explorations characteristic of Bausch's work.
