Pilobolus
Pilobolus the “arts organism”, is an internationally renowned dance company
that has mesmerised audiences all over the world with their gravity defying
choreography. Drawing on a variety of physical disciplines such as gymnastics and
acrobatics, the company has developed an entirely new dance vocabulary that is
both athletic and highly aesthetic in its form and execution. Pilobolus is unlike any
other contemporary dance company.
With Pilobolus you can expect the unexpected. Bodies fearlessly intertwine and
balance on each other; dancers fly through the air or tumble gracefully into body
formations which are magical, humorous and genial. This requires extraordinary
strength, skill, trust and remarkable creative thinking.
The creation of such work is rooted in a collaborative inspiration drawn from the
entire company. The choreographer creates a space in which an artistic collective
comes to play, new forms and movements are constantly invented and dancers are
inspired to create something extraordinary, from the ordinary.
These are qualities which characterise the spirit we call Proudly Bidvest.
