Energize Body and Mind

At its core, Pilobolus was founded by curious movers rather than traditional dancers. This workshop honors that spirit, inviting anyone (regardless of experience) to explore the profound connection between mind, body, and community.  

Through guided improvisation and collaborative choreography, you will dive into Pilobolus’s unique creative process. Expect a playful, physically engaging experience that challenges and energizes both body and mind, facilitating personal growth, deep self-discovery, and newfound confidence.

In this retreat, you will experience:

• Joyful movement: Heighten your connection to your body, discovering new ways to express thought and emotion through physicality.
• Creative collaboration: Build skills in communication, trust, and co-creation within a dynamic group environment.
• Performative play: Sharpen your problem-solving abilities by learning to think on your feet and embrace the unknown. Share what you’ve created in a supportive and celebratory final performance.

Every day includes a guided warm-up followed by structured solo and group improvisations. Together, we will generate movement ideas, engage in a constructive feedback loop, and refine our work in an open, joyful setting. The practical tools for communication, creativity, and teamwork you gain this weekend extend far beyond the dance floor. Leave Kripalu with new friendships, a renewed sense of play, and a blueprint for approaching challenges and fostering meaningful connections in your everyday life.

NOTE: Whether you haven't taken a dance class in decades, attend regularly, or have never danced at all, you are welcome in this program.
