Eye on Dance: Interview with Moses Pendleton and Jonathan Wolken
Celia Ipiotis & Jeff Bush | USA | 1987 | 28m
Recorded in December 1986 at WNYC studios, this interview of Pilobolus charter members Moses Pentleton and Jonathan Wolken originally aired on February 6, 1987, marking their first joint appearance since their public breakup. Although conflicted over being reunited, they cover a wide array of topics together about the charter’s beginnings, including the influence of Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis on their aesthetic, and their early experiments at Dartmouth with Allison Chase. Producer/Host Ipiotis manages to keep these irrepressibles under control, while exploring the deep partnership that helped lead to the creation of one of America’s leading contemporary dance companies.
