about gnomen
Gnomen, celebrated as one of the most poignant and beloved Pilobolus dances. It is a reminder of the importance of friendship, encouraging us to uplift each other, make each other laugh, and acknowledge the power of a collective experience while honoring our individual attributes.
This piece is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague, Jim Blanc. It was made possible in part by contributions from his family and friends as well as by a commission from the American Dance Festival with support from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Philip Morris Companies, Inc., New Production Fund.
