Now, for the first time, the story of Pilobolus, from its counterculture origins through its pop-culture triumphs and contemporary global acclaim, is revealed in a book that will entrance longtime admirers and newcomers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with unprecedented access to the company--with insights from unpublished archival materials and interviews with its founders, dancers, and current artistic directors--and featuring both classic and never-before-seen photos, \u003ci\u003ePilobolus\u003c\/i\u003e offers previously untold details about the group's history and the creation of its most significant works. Robert Pranzatelli describes the company's genesis in a Dartmouth dance class in 1971 and how Pilobolus revolutionized dance with its blend of sensuality, physical achievement, and visual wit. In these pages, the troupe performs on Broadway, travels the world, and by the late 1980s secures a place in dance history, while its growth is marked by periods of internal conflict, challenges, and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Pilobolus continues to morph, invent, and thrive with the arrival of new artists and collaborators, its story encompasses love, loss, grief, and rebirth, as well as insights into the secrets of the creative process--how performers and choreographers think and work. More than a history, \u003ci\u003ePilobolus\u003c\/i\u003e is a narrative of life and art, and the vitality that infuses and inspires both when they align and inhabit each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Pranzatelli\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of a number of essays published by the \u003cem\u003eParis Review\u003c\/em\u003e and other literary journals, and a longtime staff member of Yale University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45319566688339,"sku":"9780813079004","price":128.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/9731\/2595\/files\/ujlV7rEiNz9780813079004.webp?v=1781818940","url":"https:\/\/the-stone-owl-bookstore.myshopify.com\/products\/pilobolus-a-story-of-dance-and-life-hardcover","provider":"The Stone Owl Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
