Moses Pendleton\, an English literature major and cross-country skier; Jonathan Wolken\, a philosophy science major and fencer; and Steve Johnson\, a pre-med student and pole vaulter were enrolled in a dance composition class taught by Alison Becker Chase. In that class\, they created their first dance\, which they titled “Pilobolus” —and a legacy of movement and magic was born.\nPilobolus crystallinus is a phototropic (light loving) fungus. Commonly known as “Hat Thrower\,” its spores accelerate 0–45 mph in the first millimeter of their flight and adhere to wherever they land. The father of Jonathan Wolken was studying pilobolus in his biology lab when the group first formed. The name was apt and stuck. The group went on to create dozens of dance works with its founding members: Robby Barnett\, Alison Chase\, Martha Clarke\, Moses Pendleton\, Michael Tracy\, and Jonathan Wolken.\nIn the decades since\, Pilobolus has performed on Broadway\, at the Oscars\, and the Olympic games\, and has appeared on television\, in movies\, in advertisements\, and in schools and businesses and created over 120 dance works. The company continues to propel the seeds of expression via human movement to every corner of the world\, growing and changing each year while reaching new audiences and exploring new visual and physical planes.
