Summer Workshop Series 2017
July 17, 2017 @ 9:00AM — August 4, 2017 @ 9:00AM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Join Pilobolus this summer for workshops that will get your creative juices flowing, challenge your body and your mind, and open up a world of collaborative and movement-based possibilities.
By registering for the Summer Workshop Series you acknowledge that you are in agreement with the terms of this waiver.
Pilobolus's founders were not dancers, but curious and interested movers. Pilobolus camps underline our founders' ideas that anyone can dance, and can create dance. Whether you haven't taken a dance class in 20 years, take class regularly, or have never even danced a step, there is a place in a Pilobolus Intensive for you. Pilobolus focuses on how people, working together, can create form and movement to breathtaking effect. In Pilobolus Workshops and Camps, we work with dancers and non-dancers alike to expand the idea of what dance is, and increase collaborative and performance skills.
WEEK 1 – PILOBOLUS: TECHNIQUE + PHILOSOPHY
July 17 – 21, 9am-5pm – Dates subject to change
Open to dancers and non dancers alike, this workshop welcomes all to experience Pilobolus's creative process. This session is playful, group-driven, physically challenging and fun. Participants will explore improvisation and create collaborative choreography. The week ends with a showing for friends and invited guests. Pilobolus fans and curious minds from all walks of life will learn to access untapped areas of creativity and improve effectiveness in a group.
WEEK 2 – PERFORMANCE: ONSTAGE + BEYOND
July 24 – 28, 9am-5pm – Dates subject to change
Allowing participants to expand upon a basic knowledge of improvisation and group interaction, this workshop focuses on performance techniques both onstage and in the creative process. Push yourself to experience how the Pilobolus dancers create and perform. This week will include rigorous physical training, improvisation work, partnering and creating works collaboratively.
WEEK 3 – CREATION: VISION & REVISION
July 31 – Aug 4, 9am-5pm – Dates subject to change
This workshop explores deeply the group choreographic process; not just creating, but developing work. The process relies on each individual's working knowledge of complex partnering, choreography, collaboration, and direction. Be ready to dig deep into the choreographic process and not just create, but re-work, polish, edit and revise. Previous Pilobolus Workshop participation strongly recommended.
NEW FOR 2017!
