Spelling is one of the methods that Pina Bausch used in her work. The dancer of the Wuppertal Dance Theater Andrei Berezin said that the choreographer sometimes asked her artists to draw the letters of the word-key with the body. This method became the starting point for the photoproject.
The letters here are, on the one hand, the letters of Pina's name, which have already been firmly imprinted on the pages of the history of contemporary dance.
On the other hand, these are the performances of the choreographer, which are cited in photographs.
«Pina. Spelled» is not an attempt to copy Pina. This is an attempt to become closer to her work. Feel it and let it pass through yourself.

Without them the project would not have taken place
Thanks to the Dance Theater Zvon, ETO Alexander Mogilev russian contemporary dance company, Nelli Kobakhidze, Sofya Gaidukova and Konstantin Matulevsky – for watching, studying with me, for being sensitive and for understanding at a glance.
To «ETO» Alexander Mogilev school of contemporary dance and personally to Alexander Mogilev – for the opportunity to scatter 75 liters of ground and a couple of bags of dry leaves in the dance hall. To photo studio Obscur – for atmospheric rooms and chairs, for starting this project; to photo studio Black Studio – for the child's happiness to shoot under rain indoors. To Trickster Theater – for the ability to spontaneously create art in between the creation of other art.
To Yuri Purkin and Daria Ivkina, who supported and always were there. And, of course, to Tatiana Sitnova – for her professional approach, for her sewing skills, for taking the time to do every shoot.
