Pilobolus at Parker Playhouse

Imagine a visual sculpture of human bodies. Or a configuration of dancers so entangled you can't count them. For over three decades, the Pilobolus dance troupe has been acclaimed for a startling mix of humor, athleticism and creativity, and they have been dubbed "the most popular modern dance company in the country" (New York Post). 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. "The continuity of changing imagery," notes the New York Times, blended with " the easy sensuousness and the wonderful push-me-pull-you surprises of the physicality: These seem to come right out of their makers' dreams and into ours."

Named after an ever-changing organism, and drawing inspiration from biology, Pilobolus has created a dance vocabulary all its own. Their smooth, organic choreography often blurs the lines between individual performers, creating a sense of dance troupe as a singular living being. Their novel approach to the art form translates into a compelling canon that continually draws in dance lovers and newcomers alike.
