PILOBOLUS

presented by Robby Barnett, Artistic Director and Itamar Kubovy, Executive Director

The gravity-defying collaborative dance collective Pilobolus is recognized as a major American dance company of international influence. They were featured in a riveting segment on 60 Minutes a few years back. In addition to his work with Pilobolus, Robby Barnett has been variously employed as a technical metal worker, an instructor for Outward Bound, Inc., a garden and landscape designer, and has taught skiing and high school art. He lives in northwestern Connecticut with his wife and two children. Itamar Kubovy joined Pilobolus at the beginning of 2004 as the company's first Executive Director. After graduating from Yale in 1988, he moved to Europe where he taught, directed and ran theaters in Germany and Sweden. Since returning to the US in 1998, he directed several new works by John Guare, co-directed the 2002 season finale of the WEST WING, and made a film, UPHEAVAL, starring Frances McDormand.
