WICKENBURG, AZ -
Moses Pendleton has been one of Americas most innovative and widely performed choreographers and producers for more than 30 years. He was one of the founding members of Pilobolus Dance Theater in 1971 and formed MOMIX in the early 80s. He has been its artistic director since 1984.
MOMIX “25 Years of Moses Pendleton” features a remix of Pendletons best choreography, during which the dancer-illusionists will use props, light, shadow, humor and their bodies to conjure up surreal scenes, spellbinding young and adult audiences alike. MOMIX’s international reputation is based on presenting work of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty. MOMIX will present pieces from its eclectic repertoire including “Orbit,” “Baseball,” “Passion,” “Opus Cactus” and “Sun Flower Moon.”
“Drawing from the whole lexicon of arts -- gymnastics, acrobatics, body surfing, pole vaulting, the aerial arts, ballet and human puppetry -- Pendleton has conjured…and devised such stunning imagery.” Hedy Weiss, Dance Critic
