This innovative major American dance company of international influence and reputation combines a unique choreographic process and approach to partnering. It has formed a new kind of modern dance at its most imaginative, whimsical, astonishingly athletic and most accessible.
Pilobolus includes acrobatics, body contortions and a mix of humor and invention; they are truly a dance company at its most sophisticated and sensual. You may have seen them perform in silhouette at the 2007 Academy Awards show.
Pilobolus has never forsaken its original impetus. The company remains a deeply collaborative effort with the core directors and dancers contributing to one of the most popular and varied repertoires in the field. Its many decades of consistent artistic activity now stand as a testament to the group's remarkable fruitfulness and longevity.
“As zany as the Marx Brothers, as clever as Houdini, this sextet of adept acrobats converts bodies into interlocking and interchangeable parts, erecting structures on stage that are closer to sculpture than dance.”
— Newsweek
