Pilobolus presents UP! in Los Angeles

UP! THE UMBRELLA PROJECT with Music Center LA

October 21, 2021

In collaboration with the Music Center LA and MIT, Pilobolus brings  UP! The Umbrella Project, a free interactive community event where Angelenos get to connect with each other in a large-scale, live nighttime art experience using LED umbrellas. Through careful choreography, we will illuminate Downtown Los Angeles by changing the colors of MIT-designed umbrellas, showcasing a shifting landscape of brightly colored figures within a one-hour session. The Music Center’s large LED screens on Jerry Moss Plaza will display the colors, patterns and shapes so everyone can see their movements in real time. The innovation and combination of dance and technology make UP! The Umbrella Project a memorable colorful spectacle you will never forget.

In addition to the nightly UP experiences, Pilobolus teaching artists are creating new works with local dancers, Straight Up Abilities, and Cortines High School, Grand Arts dancers. Both pieces will premiere on the Jerry Moss Plaza Saturday, October 23, 2021.
