Notes from the Road

Notes from the road...

January 26th, 2018

We’ve just wrapped up an incredible tour of Europe and Asia, that led us from the Akropolis in Greece to the Great Wall of China. It’s been incredible to connect with a community that spans the globe, see old friends, and make new ones.

Pilobolus was recently invited to perform at the largest women’s university in the world: Princess Noura bint Abdulrahman University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

We were honored to share this singular experience of cross-cultural exchange – as the first western dance company to perform in Saudi Arabia. Pilobolus loves to discover what is possible when people join together. Diversity and trust inspire our work, and we take advantage of every opportunity to perform for new audiences. In a moment when values about women’s roles and independence are shifting globally, our mixed-gender performance of Shadowland, a work exploring a young girl’s imagination, took on special meaning.

Our Saudi hosts graciously shared their beautiful country and culture with us, inviting us to see landmark buildings, and even race across the desert on horseback. We hope these personal connections and historic performances herald a new era of cultural partnership and arts access.

Hands-On

HANDS-ON CONNECTIONS...

January 19th, 2018

This winter, we’ve found new ways to connect with our audiences and fans – and not just metaphorically. We’re sharing the Pilobolus experience with attendees from New York to Boston to Hilton Head to Vegas – through fun creative classes and workshops exploring movement, balance, connection, and community.

It’s been so inspiring to work with so many curious, engaged movers and dancers, and we hope our participants are feeling more connected with our work and process. We’re feeling closer to you than ever, and we can’t wait to continue to engage and share as we build opportunities for collaboration and connection.

Ford | CES

Another side of movement...

January 12th, 2018

Not all of our work happens on stage. We recently partnered with Alex McDowell (designer of Minority Report) and his company, Experimental, along with Ford's creative agency, Civic, to create a live experience for Ford at CES. 

Together we created a street corner of the future, wired with cutting-edge mobility technology.  Pilobolus was responsible for scripting and directing 20 actor/citizens that brought the street to life. The booth made quite a splash, making it into many best of lists for CES this year. 

We love being at the forefront of new ideas, and were excited to join the conversation on movement, technology, and how we can improve lives and strengthen human connections.
