Pilobolus began in 1971 as an outsider dance company, and forty years later, it has evolved into a pioneering American arts organization of the 21st century. Based in Washington Depot, Connecticut, Pilobolus performs for stage and television audiences all over the world. The company has appeared late at night on the Tonight Show, early in the morning on Sesame Street, and in primetime as a feature on CBS's 60 Minutes. Pilobolus has received a number of prestigious honors, including the Berlin Critic's Prize, the Scotsman Award, the Brandeis Award, a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding achievement in cultural programming, Mexico's Lunas Award for best modern dance (2011), and, as the first collective to receive it, the Dance Magazine Award (2010), which is given to artists who have made a lasting impact on the field.  Pilobolus works also appear in the repertories of major American and European dance companies, and, in June 2000, the company received the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for lifetime achievement in choreography. In 2007, Pilobolus opened up its collective choreographic process to outside artists of different backgrounds through the formation of the International Collaborators Project (ICP).
