A unique and "flexible" Connecticut dance company performed at the Oscars last night in a most unusual way.
The company "reenacted" icons from last year's top movies including "Happy Feet" and "Little Miss Sunshine." The results were incredible!
They would tumble behind a scrim, a sort of stage background that can do amazing things with lights and shadows, and sort of come together and form and grow shapes, into such things as chubby, adorable and completely realistic penguins as well as the van from "Little Miss Sunshine" driving down the highway with a few cast members running in tow.
The company uses a unique choreographic style and "weight-sharing" partnering to build these amazing creations, with their bodies! It is really amazing to watch and again I am kicking myself for not having seen Pilobolus when they traveled to Boston a few months ago.
The company's name means a fungus that grows exponentially fast. For more detailed and interesting facts and information about the company head to the Pilobolus site.
