Founded in 2008 by dancer-choreographer Adam Battelstein—the choreographer, creative director, and master teaching artist for the Pilobolus for 19 years—Catapult transcends the traditional dance performance with its unique combination of dance, storytelling, and sculpture. By showcasing the human body and its ability to transform, Catapult dancers work behind a screen to create seemingly impossible dancing shadow silhouettes of shapes from the world around us. With the arc of an arm, the point of a toe, or the twist of a torso, Catapult’s dancers stretch their bodies and audience's imaginations, telling stories with humor and pathos by transforming magically from one shape to another. Their performances seamlessly meld cutting edge technology with classic dance technique.
