Pilobolus Dance it Theatre was founded in the summer of 1971 I by Moses Pendleton and Jonathan Wolken who had met as undergraduates at Dartmouth College when both were taking choreography classes from Alison Chase. Shortly thereafter they were joined by two more students of Ms. Chase, Lee Har- ris and Robby Barnett. In the course of the following year, Pilobolus evolved into a completely self-sufficient organization- - Twyla the dances conceived, choreographed, danced, managed and publicized by the four men. Fl In the Spring of 1973, the company expanded to include Alison Chase and Martha Clarke and a full-time technician, Chris Ashe. In January, 1974, Michael Tracy replaced Lee Harris who left the company to pursue a career in computer science. Pilobolus Dance Theatre is noted for its energy, originality and precision, and the driving force behind its work is certainly the power of the collaborative effort. This method is not without its difficulties for the different members at Rose Marie different times- - Wright the democratic process at work can be frustrating--yet it has allowed for a wide range of attitudes and ideas from strict for- malism to broad theatricality. One of the best descriptions of Kenneth Rinker the Pilobolus approach came from Michael Steinberg, who wrote in The Boston Globe: Tom Rawe "Characteristic of Pilobolus is the sense that bodies are ener- gized more by other bodies than by action against the floor or Jennifer Way by gravity. Indeed, everything about the ensemble sense of Pilobolus is quite extraordinary. It is as though the dancers saw with their bodies rather than with their eyes, as though touch Shelley Washington rather than vision were the crucial sense, as though their un- canny knowledge of where their partners are were based even more on a combination of faith and experience than on vigilance: Larry Grenier Oita About the Dancers . Robert Morgan Barnett was born and raised in the Adirondack s cc19" s° Mountains and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth Program A (March 25,26, April 3, 4) College as an art major. He has worked variously as a metal ovtoe'""I°18 craftsman and an instructor for Outward Bound, Inc. and has Eight Jelly Rolls, The Fugue, New Work taught skiing as well as elementary and high school art.

  • Dreams of a Wood Sprite

    Dreams of a Wood Sprite

    DREAMS OF A WOOD SPRITE Gideon Lester talks to director and choreographer Martha Clarke about flying, animals, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Gideon Lester: A Midsummer Night's Dream is the first Shakespeare that you've directed. When Robert Woodruff approached you to direct at the A.R.T., why did you suggest this play? Martha Clarke: For years I've known that if ever I were to tackle Shakespeare, this would be the play. It's the only one I instinctively felt I would understand, being a bit of a wood sprite. G.L.: How are you a wood sprite? M.C.: You're not supposed to ask those questions. Let's just say that I understand stories of love, transformation, and projecting one's amorous baggage onto someone else. G.L.: So the play has been on your mind for a long time. M.C.: If you can call this a mind! When I was fourteen I played Puck in high school and I still remember great chunks of the text. G.L.: Before rehearsals began you spent a week working with four actors and a vocal coach, Deborah Hecht. You remarked afterwards that the process had made the prospect of staging the play less daunting to you. What did you mean? M.C.: Deb investigates text in the same way that I explore physicality. She unpacks its rhythm, shape, energy, and phrasing - in a sense turning it into music. Shakespeare's language can be either energized or contained, like movement. Speaking the verse requires the actor to make sounds - tight and small or long and full - just as a dancer creates a physical gesture.
