Pilobolus is a unique American arts organization of international influence, having created one of the most popular and varied bodies of work in the history of dance. Pilobolus arose out of a Dartmouth College dance class in 1971. What emerged was a collaborative choreographic process and 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. Their performances have long been characterized by a strong element of physical interaction between the bodies of the performers, and exaggerations or contortions of the human form (or other anthropomorphic forms), often verging on gymnastics. Their creativity was on full display during the 2007 television broadcast of the 79th Academy Awards.
