We mail a free Teacher Guide in advance, packed with age-appropriate information and activities, and aligned with state and national educational standards.
Pilobolus, the arts organism, germinated in the fertile soil of a Dartmouth College dance class in 1971. What emerged was a collaborative choreographic process and a 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. The group was immediately acclaimed for its startling mix of humor and invention, and Pilobolus soon became a self-sufficient organization, its members choreographing, dancing, managing, and publicizing their own programs. Today Pilobolus remains a deeply collaborative effort, and is recognized as a major American dance company of international influence.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, August 2 at 9:30 AM. To reserve your seats, call the Dance St. Louis box office: 314.534.6622. The last Pilobolus Young People’s Performance was completely sold out, so don't delay!
