Human Shadow Puppets

A friend just sent me a clip of Pilobolus. This company has been around since the 1970's, I believe. They started in Connecticut under the direction of Moses Pendleton. Originally they were an innovative combination of dance and mime. I was impressed by this foray into human shadow puppetry. They use their bodies and some objects to create amusing and effective images. I am glad they are still working. There just aren't that many mime companies doing such creative work.
