Sensory-Friendly Matinee: Pilobolus Rules @ Play

A sensory-friendly show created by one of the world’s most creative dance companies. We usually view rules negatively, but Rules @ Play explores how rules actually provide opportunities to solve problems and overcome challenges. They spark creativity, and in this case, give Pilobolus tools to make dances. Fun, engaging and accessible with lowered sound, raised lights, and a relaxed atmosphere, the dancers perform and analyze some of the company’s pieces through movement and discussion on and off stage, showcasing the benefit of playing by the rules.
