Trips is framed not as a run of unrelated dances but as a passage: each work leads into the next, moving between cosmic imagery and inner emotional terrain. Before each performance, a separate conversation offers another way into the program, focusing on the collaboration and trust behind Pilobolus’s physical partnering.
A company formed across disciplines
Pilobolus began with three college students whose interests crossed several fields. Moses Pendleton studied English literature and cross-country skied; Jonathan Wolken studied philosophy and science and fenced; Steve Johnson was a pre-med student and pole vaulter. They made a dance called Pilobolus, which grew into the company.
That origin story is useful context for a production described through movement and transitions rather than a published plot summary. The event listing presents Trips as a single journey in which one dance flows into the next.

A dancer’s perspective on partnering
Company dancer Ryan Hayes joins TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND Executive and Artistic Director Charles Santos for the Santos Salon Series conversation. Its stated subjects include Pilobolus’s collaborative process, the trust involved in partnered choreography and the artistry behind Trips.
Hayes’s biography notes a Dance Performance degree from Gonzaga University and scholarship training at Steps on Broadway Conservatory in New York. It also cites performances of Paul Taylor and Jerome Robbins choreography, including work from Esplanade and N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. Hayes co-teaches Partnering for Broadway, guest teaches at universities and studios, and is interested in dance education and arts accessibility—experience that gives the discussion’s focus on partnering a practical context.
The salon listing also mentions Hayes performing in Walklyndon, Flight and Lamentation Variations as background. It does not identify those titles as works in Trips.

A conversation about how the movement is made
The optional salon gives audiences a process-focused companion to Trips: Hayes discusses the company’s collaborative approach, the trust required in partnering and the artistry of the production with Santos as moderator. It is a separately RSVP’d conversation, not a segment of the performance.
