The New York Times gave Dartmouth’s own Hopkins Center some much-deserved attention on the front page of Monday’s online edition. Alastair Macaulay’s write-up of the Pilobolus weekend dance show is a paean not only to Pilobolus (founded by Dartmouth alums), but also to the College itself and to the Hop, “one of the leaders in commissioning modern-dance works.” A priceless piece of promotion for the Hop and the College’s public affairs office.

Pilobolus has its origins in a 1971 dance class at the College taught by instructor Alison Chase. Here they are on Conan last summer:
