The core values of Pilobolus are creativity, collaboration and communication. Our workshops are designed to give students an experience of the Pilobolus creative process and our signature techniques of improvisation, partnering and collaborative choreography. Current Pilobolus dancers will lead students through an improvisational warmup, movement-based problem solving, weight sharing techniques and group dance making. The class concludes with a choreographic project and performance for their peers.
