The World

In the 1950s, Paulus Berensohn, now 77, studied dance at Juilliard, performed on Broadway, and worked with modern dance legends like Merce Cunningham and Mary Anthony. Then, in his mid-20s, it occurred to him: what would it mean to dance, not just on the stage, but in life? He found the answer at a potter’s wheel, and he’s been there ever since. Produced by Studio 360’s Jenny Lawton.
