Founded at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, in 1971, Pilobolus Dance Theatre caught the world attention with its whimsical, roll-your-own movement style in which the bodies of the dancers serve as human Lego blocks that form clusters, pyramids and sculptural shapes. For over 30 years, PDT has been choreographing and touring continually, performing for stage and television audiences around the globe. It currently possesses a repertoire of over 85 works, a number of which have since been included in the repertoires of other major dance companies.

Pilobolus has received many awards, among them the Berlin Critics?Prize, the Brandeis Award, the Scotsman Award for performances at the Edinburgh Festival, and, in 1997, a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding achievement in cultural programming. In June 2000, Pilobolus received the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for lifetime achievement in choreography.
