Known for their uncanny wit, unparalleled physicality and gravity-defying
feats, Pilobolus Dance Theatre will present five works at the Annenberg
Center for the Performing Arts. The Philadelphia premieres include Pilobolus
(1971), the original work by three Dartmouth students that launched the
company; Lanterna Magica (2008), a mysterious work that uses ritual and
mythology to create a sensual celebration of the supernatural; and Rushes
(2007) Pilobolus' first collaborative partnering project with Israeli
choreographers Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak. Pilobolus is under the
artistic direction of Robby Barnett, Michael Tracy and Jonathan Wolken, who
often create works in collaboration with the dancers. With 100 works in its
repertory, Pilobolus redefined American contemporary dance by pushing the
boundaries of what was humanly possible through its innovative
weight-sharing techniques and highly imaginative and collaborative
approaches to dance-making. NYC Newsday raves, "Pilobolus is a mind-blowing
troupe of wildly creative and physically daring dancers who leap, fly,
intertwine, and break all the rules. Audience should expect the unexpected
with Pilobolus."

Dance Celebration is presented by Dance Affiliates and Penn Presents. Its
26th season under the artistic direction of Randy Swartz salutes the 20th
century pioneers and innovators of contemporary dance.
