Friday, March 23rd Pilobolus
Lake Worth
Pilobolus
began as an experiment among three guys and one puzzled professor in a
Dartmouth dance class back in 1970. From these humble, biological
beginnings has emerged an innovative, unlikely and almostuncategorizable
dance company that combines athleticism, grace and humor with a
profound sense of unity. Their smooth, organic choreography -- featuring
unusual partnering and lifts -- often blurs the lines between
individual performers, creating a sense of dance-troupe-asorganism. ,
8:00pm Tickets $39. 4200 Congress Avenue, Lake Worth, FL 33461.
