ABOUT PILOBOLUS PILOBOLUS is a rebellious dance company. For 45 years, Pilobolus has tested the limits of human physicality to explore the beauty and the power of connected bodies. We continue to bring this tradition to global audiences through our post-disciplinary collaborations with some of the greatest influencers, thinkers, and creators in the world. Now, in our digitally driven and increasingly mediated landscape, we also reach beyond performance to teach people how to connect through designed live experiences. We bring our decades of expertise telling stories with the human form to show diverse communities, brands, and organizations how to maximize group creativity, solve problems, create surprise, and generate joy through the power of nonverbal communication. Pilobolus has created and toured over 120 pieces of repertory to more than 65 countries. We currently perform our work for over 300,000 people across the U.S. and around the world each year. In the last year, Pilobolus was featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NBC’s TODAY show, MTV’s Video Music Awards, The Harry Connick Show, ABC’s The Chew, and the CW Network’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us. Pilobolus has been recognized with many prestigious honors, including a TED Fellowship, a 2012 Grammy® Award Nomination, a Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cultural Programming, and several Cannes Lion Awards at the International Festival of Creativity. In 2015, Pilobolus was named one of Dance Heritage Coalition’s “Irreplaceable Dance Treasures.” Pilobolus has collaborated with more than 25 brands and organizations in finance, retail, media, fashion, sports, and more to create bespoke performances for television, film, and live events.

  • 2021 Program
    This organization is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the SC Arts Commission. Thirteen Years of Joye in Aiken In this year of change, when it has sometimes seemed as if nothing might ever be normal again, one thing that has not changed is the importance of the arts in our lives. Especially where sources of hope and inspiration are few, the arts retain their power to energize and refresh us. And so it is with even greater pleasure than usual that we welcome you (digitally, to be sure) to the 13th Annual Joye in Aiken Festival and Outreach Program. Though COVID-19 has forced us to rethink timeframes, formats and venues in the interest of ensuring the safety of our community and our artists, we have embraced those challenges as opportunities. If a single Festival week presented dangers, could we spread the events out to allow for responses to changing conditions? If it wasn’t possible to hold an event indoors, could we hold it outdoors? With those questions and a thousand others answered, we are proud to present to you a Festival that is necessarily different in many respects, but that is no less exciting. And because it’s so central to our mission, we’re especially proud to introduce to you an important new dimension of our Outreach Program. With COVID making it impossible for us to present our usual Kidz Bop and Young People’s Concerts, we turned to our nationally-known artists for help. And their solution was perfect: two engaging series of instructional videos designed specifically for the children of Aiken County by these world-class musicians.

  • Portland Cello Project Bio
    Portland Cello Project Bio Since the group's inception in late 2007, the Portland Cello Project (or, PCP, as their fans affectionately call them), has wowed audiences all over the country with extravagant performances, everywhere from Prairie Home Companion, to that punk rock club in the part of town your grandma warns you not to go to after dark. The group has built a reputation mixing genres and blurring musical lines and perceptions wherever they go. No two shows are alike, with a repertoire now numbering over 800 pieces of music you wouldn't normally hear coming out of a cello. The Cello Project's stage setup ranges from the very simple (4-6 cellos), to the all out epic (which has included 12 cellos playing with full choirs, winds, horns, and numerous percussion players). The Cello Project's mission is three-fold: 1: To bring the cello to places you wouldn't normally hear it. (Everywhere from nightclubs to symphony halls, from sports bars to loading docks, from libraries to halftime at Portland Trailblazers games...) 2: To play music on the cello you wouldn't normally hear played on the instrument. (Everything from Bach to Kanye to Pantera...) 3: To build bridges across all musical communities by bringing a diverse assortment of musical collaborators on stage with them. (Everyone from the Dandy Warhols to Peter Yarrow to Ben Sollee to Mirah to Garrison Keillor...) "Before this recent Portland Cello Project concert, I’m not sure that I’d truly realized how important live performances can be in helping you appreciate music." Time Magazine
