Thurs, Nov 12, 7:30 pm EST | LIVESTREAM
Featuring a Live Q&A
The self-proclaimed rebellious dance company, Pilobolus, is celebrating their 50th anniversary on Jorgensen Digital Stage with a program titled Origins. Artistic directors Renée Jaworski and Matt Kent will be discussing personal insights behind the creation of Pilobolus, along with rarely seen footage of the company. This virtual historical look-back will conclude with a live Q&A session with the artistic directors.
Today, Pilobolus is known for testing the limits of human physicality. They have created and toured over 120 pieces of repertory to more than 65 countries. In 2015, Pilobolus was named one of Dance Heritage Coalition's "Irreplaceable Dance Treasures."
"The continuity of changing imagery, the easy sensuousness and the wonderful push-me-pull-you surprises of the physicality: These still seem to come right out of their makers' dreams and into ours." - The New York Times
