In TRIPS, Pilobolus gives its dancers an imagined captain and a continuous journey across invented realities. The advertised form depends on transitions between works as much as on the movement within them.
Literature, sport and science in the origin story
Pilobolus’s beginnings bring together three college students with different pursuits. Moses Pendleton was interested in English literature and cross-country skiing; Jonathan Wolken studied philosophy and science and fenced; Steve Johnson was a pre-med student and pole vaulter. They created a dance they called Pilobolus, according to the event’s account.
That mix of academic interests and athletic backgrounds offers a useful backdrop to a company whose current description emphasizes physical performance and imagination. It is origin context, not a guide to the individual dances in TRIPS.

A connected work in a season of varied dance
The event describes TRIPS as a sequence in which each work moves into the next. Its advertised elements include gravity-defying movement, emotional expression and sly humor, with an intergalactic captain guiding the broader voyage. The listing does not name individual dances, so it gives an overall sense of the program rather than a title-by-title account.
The Dallas engagement is part of TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND’s 2026–27 season. Other, separate bookings show the range of dance practices represented there: Step Afrika! combines percussive dance practiced in historically African American fraternities and sororities with traditional African dance and contemporary forms; Social Tango Project joins dance with live music and cinematic projections. These are not part of the Pilobolus performance.

A city-operated hall in the Arts District
Moody Performance Hall is a 750-seat multipurpose theater owned and operated by the City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture. Its design incorporated feedback from 70 Dallas arts organizations, and the venue hosts performances by emerging and mid-sized cultural groups. That civic role gives this TITAS booking a setting beyond the Center’s own venues.

Recommended for ages 4 and up
The event is described as family-friendly and appropriate for ages 4+. Every attendee, including a lap child, needs a ticket. The Center’s exception for children under 4 applies only to performances recommended for all ages, so it does not apply to this listing.

Arrange seating and services with the Center
Moody Performance Hall lists wheelchair access at its Flora Street and Jack Evans Street entrances. The Center says its theaters have wheelchair- and scooter-accessible seating, removable-armrest seats on all levels and bariatric chairs by advance request. Request an accessible location when buying tickets. Beginning one hour before the performance, ushers can assist patrons from the front of the building to the theater and, at the theater, to their seats or wheelchair-accessible locations.

No. Entry requires the current rotating QR code in the Center’s mobile wallet. If you cannot access it at the venue, the box office can help.
Can I bring outside food or drinks?
No. Concessions are available for purchase, but whether they may be taken into the seating area varies by production.
