Imagine a visual sculpture of human bodies, or a configuration of dancers so entangled you can’t count them. For nearly four decades, the Pilobolus dance troupe has been acclaimed for 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 evolved into a unique American arts organization of international influence, dubbed by the New York Post as “the most popular modern dance company in the country.” With notable appearances in commercials, on the academy awards and innovative theatrical productions that result in die-hard dance fans, Pilobolus makes modern dance accessible and fun for all.
