Pilobolus engages and inspires audiences around the world using diverse collaborations that break down barriers between disciplines and challenge the understanding of dance. The original company, Pilobolus Dance Theater, has been touring its 115 pieces of repertory to more than 64 countries during the past four decades.

Named after a barnyard fungus that propels its spores with extraordinary speed, accuracy and strength, Pilobolus was founded in 1971 by a group of Dartmouth College students and quickly became renowned the world over for its witty and gravity-defying works using the human body as a medium of expression. The distinctive Pilobolus approach focuses on how people, working together, can create form and movement with breathtaking effect.

“There are other companies that take art to extremes, but Pilobolus proves once more that it does it best.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
