Pilobolus Dance Theatre, founded by four Dartmouth students in 1971, has changed the course of contemporary dance with its signature style of closely combined bodies and a radically innovative approach to collaborative artistic creation. Dartmouth now celebrates Pilobolus' recent donation of its remarkable archives with a Montgomery Fellowship residency, performances, educational programs, and two exhibitions. It's a chance to celebrate the witty genius of Pilobolus, "the most popular modern dance company in the country" (New York Post), and learn about Dartmouth's new resource for dance students and scholars.
