the world's foremost living choreographer, Jiri
Kylian. Also on this program is Dominique

About The Numbers by choreographer Nicolo

Pilobolus, the arts organism, germinated in the
fertile soil of a Dartmouth College dance class in 1971.
What emerged was a collaborative choreographic process
and a unique weight-sharing approach to partnering that
gave the young company a non-traditional but powerful
new set of skills with which to make dances. The group
was immediately acclaimed for its startling mix of humor
and invention and Pilobolus soon became a
self-sufficient organization, its members
choreographing, dancing, managing, and publicizing their
own programs.
"Sliding, intertwining and climbing all
over each other into moving shapes, their virtually
indescribable sculptural tableaux forged a new dance
genre." Philadelphia Daily

Hailing from the
People's Republic of China, The Peking Acrobats have for
decades been diplomats of their spirited culture. Since
1958, this elite group has toured the world over,
leaving audiences spellbound by the graceful
presentation of their ancient folk art, acrobatics.
Carefully selected from the finest acrobat schools in
China, these gymnasts, jugglers, cyclists and tumblers
transform 2000-year-old athletic disciplines into an
all-ages kaleidoscope of entertainment and
wonder.
"The Peking Acrobats regularly
passed from the seemingly impossible to the virtually
unbelievable." Los Angeles
