Pilobolus

Pilobolus Dance Theatre is one of the world’s most popular–and unusual–dance companies. Founded in 1971 as an experiment in collaborative choreography, Pilobolus has forged a new vision of modern dance, stretching the boundaries of human movement with a dazzling mix of humor, intelligence, physical invention, and raw athleticism. (Pilobolus takes its name from a sun-loving fungus that grows in barnyards and pastures and can throw its spores nearly eight feet despite being less than an inch tall.)
