Productions
Wigman's first public production was the Hexentanz, performed without music, in late 1913.
While recovering from her nervous breakdown, Wigman wrote the choreography for her first group composition, 'Witch Dance', after which her career and influence began in earnest.
She had several years' success on the concert stage, though her grand design, the 1929 Totenmal, was never produced.
Wigman taught again in Leipzig in 1948.
From 1950 until her death in 1973 Wigman taught at a studio in West Berlin.
She died on 18 September 1973 in Berlin, aged 86.
