Collin Dance Program welcomes Pilobolus Too
The Collin Dance Program, The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) and world renown Pilobolus Too are coming together to bring exceptional dance to the area.
Collin will host a master class with Pilobolus Too’s Matt Kent, who will be in the area with his wife, Emily, for a residency with the two institutions. The visit will come to a head with two performances Friday and Saturday, March 3-4, at 8 p.m. at the UTD Theatre.
Pilobolus Too is a part of the Pilobolus Dance Theatre, conceived in 1996 to serve smaller, less-equipped venues. The group has performed in Europe and the United States in front of crowds of 200 to 2,000. Pilobolus Too consists of two dancers presented new and classic Pilobolus works. The community master class is scheduled from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Satuday, Feb. 25, at the Collin Spring Creek Campus Dance Studio, room AA146. Registration is $15 for general admission, $10 for students with an ID and $8 for Collin and UTD students with an ID. Registration for the master class ends Friday, Feb. 17 and registration is confirmed when payment is received. Space is limited, so early registration is advised.
The March showcases will feature Matt Kent’s choreography and dancers from Collin and UTD and feature the Collin Dance Ensemble and UTD dancers, along with Pilobolus Too.
Pilobolus Dance Theatre has been choreographing and touring continually since October 1971 and performs for stage and television audiences around the globe. It currently possesses a repertory of over 85 works, a number of which appear in the repertoires of other major dance companies. These include the Joffrey, Feld, Ohio, Arizona, and Aspen/Santa Fe Ballets in the United States, the Ballet National de Nancy et de Lorraine and the Ballet des Rhin in France, and Italy's Verona Ballet. The New York Times has called Pilobolus Too "a jewel-like distillation of Pilobolus spirit and history."
For more information about registering for the master class, contact Tiffanee Arnold, Collin chair of dance, at 972.881. 5830 or tarnold@ccccd.edu.
