...Dartmouth's fault. If a cross-country skier, a fencer-folk-dancer, and a pole-vaulter hadn't decided to give modern dance a whirl in a class there in 1970, chances are no one else would ever have come up with what the book's photographer Tim Matson calls "a blend of dance, gymnastics, mime, circus and sculpture." Since then, the original group has evolved into a brash, astonishing, stubbornly unclassifiable performance company of three men and two women, with a home base in Connecticut and a touring schedule which skims them halfway around the globe...
...transform the body into something else," Matson says of Pilobolus. "Without knowing it at first, what they were looking for was a new visual language--something beyond words." They just may have found it.

Still this combo-country, cabaret, lejazzhot, album has enough winners to carry you on by the few boring numbers...
...Barnum was right). To the last, it is no; the services asked from Rocky's composer are beyond the call of duty. Just why any young writer should be so cynical in constructing a love story the first time out is hard to fathom. Barra Grant has the dancer (played by Anne Ditchburn of the National Ballet of Canada) move in down the hall from the columnist (Paul Sorvino). There are a number of chance encounters in which she gradually warms to his streetwise but not hardened sensibility, just as he comes to appreciate her strangely withdrawn nature...
