A highly unusual dance company, now in its 38th year of evolution, Pilobolus germinated in the fertile soil of a Dartmouth College dance class in 1971. What emerged was a collaborative choreographic process and unique weight-sharing approach to partnering that gave the young company a non-traditional but powerful new set of skills with which to make dances. Pilobolus has been featured recently on the Oprah show as well as the 2007 Academy Award telecast and in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Theatrical innovation at its best, Pilobolus creates work with the imaginative use of costumes and props and precarious aerial moves, while delivering, strong messages and meaning in a deceptively accessible story.

“The company provides a much-needed breath of fresh air in the somewhat solemn climate of modern dance in New York.”
