Audience favorite, Pilobolus returns to the Quick Center stage with their new work Shadowland | Press Releases

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (January 19, 2017) — Internationally acclaimed, Pilobolus Dance Theater, will bring their new work Shadowland to the Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University on Saturday, February, 4, 2017 at 8 p.m. An exciting production for both adult and family audiences, Shadowland combines multimedia, projected shadow play, and front-of-screen choreography in a wild evening of storytelling that is uniquely Pilobolus.

Created by Pilobolus’s dancers and directors in collaboration with lead writer for the popular animated series SpongeBob SquarePants , Steven Banks, Shadowland is a universal and intimately portrayed experience that is both intensely dramatic and comedic. The story is a surreal experience of a young girl’s sensational world as she comes of age.

Shadowland incorporates multiple moving screens of different sizes and shapes to create an evening-length performance that merges projected images and front-of-screen choreography.

It is set to a rhythmic original score by the popular American musician, producer, and film composer David Poe , whose poetic work for Shadowland ranges from ballads to hard-driving rock numbers that lift the audience out of its seats. His songs illuminate the themes and visuals of this fascinating story and world.
