Founded
at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, in 1971, Pilobolus Dance Theatre caught the
world attention with its whimsical, roll-your-own movement style in which the
bodies of the dancers serve as human Lego blocks that form clusters, pyramids
and sculptural shapes. For over 30 years, PDT has been choreographing and
touring continually, performing for stage and television audiences around the
globe. It currently possesses a repertoire of over 85 works, a number of which
have since been included in the repertoires of other major dance companies.
Pilobolus has received many awards, among them
the Berlin Critics?Prize, the Brandeis Award, the Scotsman Award for
performances at the Edinburgh Festival, and, in 1997, a Primetime Emmy Award for
outstanding achievement in cultural programming. In June 2000, Pilobolus
received the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for lifetime
achievement in choreography.
