Pilobolus Dance Theater
Pilobolus focuses on how people, working together, can create form and movement to breathtaking effect. At our Summer Workshop Series, we work with dancers and non-dancers alike to let go of preconceptions about dance, and discover infinite forms of what is beautiful and possible.
Workshops take place at the Woodhall School in Bethlehem, CT – near the company’s Connecticut home. Join us for an immersive Pilobolus experience with a performance by the company!
Ages 18+. Sessions are Monday - Friday, 9am – 5pm.

WEEK 2: ONSTAGE + BEYOND
