Pilobolus (2020)

"The continuity of changing imagery, the easy sensuousness and the wonderful push-me-pull-you surprises of the physicality: These still seem to come right out of their makers’ dreams and into ours."

The New York Times

Pilobolus (2020)

"Pilobolus has spent almost half a century demonstrating that the human form has an infinite capacity for transformation through movement and imagination. The company’s recent fascination with the potential of storytelling through the ancient art of shadow theater is yet another iteration of their own exploration, one that can both delight audiences and confound their expectations of dance."

"The remarkable quality of the Pilobolus dancers is that they can fulfill dual roles as both storytellers and athletic dancers. They can partner with astonishing ease into the most contorted yet beautiful shapes, while also never breaking character."

Broadway World

Pilobolus (2020)

"Energetic, strong and fearless, these dancers embrace influences from hip hop to martial arts to frothy comedy. Watching them is exhilarating."

"For their Boulder performance, titled 'Come to your senses,' reinvention looks like videos of vintage science experiments, words spelled in 'foot font,' dancers wearing giant eyeballs on their heads, and a dance about fraternity and brotherhood."
