About ASAP MISSION: The After School Arts Program (ASAP) provides opportunities for children to create, collaborate, and express themselves through exposure to and participation in the arts under the guidance of arts professionals. HISTORY: Founded in April 1999 ASAP’s original goal was to engage local middle school children from Region 12 in arts programs otherwise unavailable to them. ASAP held its first eight workshops in music, dance, and art with 72 students. With success and increased demand for programs, ASAP expanded its geographic reach and extended the range of the children it serves. Reconstructed as a nonprofit orginization in 2004, it has produced hundreds of workshops and events, touching the lives of more than 42,000 children and adults from 82 towns across Connecticut. WORKSHOPS: ASAP offers more than 100 workshops in the literary, performing, visual, martial, and culinary arts to students pre-K through adult across Northwest CT. Programs are led by professional artists and arts organizations, and are held during the school day, after school, on weekends, and during the summer. ASAP has provided $45,640 in financial aid to hundreds of children in need no child is ever turned away. SPECIAL EVENTS: ASAP’s special events feature our talented young writers, dancers, musicians, and photographers. This year ASAP presented A Celebration of Young Photographers in December; Pilobolus in February; and will present our 7th annual A Celebration of Young Writers in May. SUMMER GRANT PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: The ASAP Summer Grant Program, founded by Bill Risley, provides high school students with the opportunity to participate in educational arts programs at prestigious organizations such as Carnegie Mellon, Rhode Island School of Design, and Berklee College of Music. Over the past seven years, 55 students have received $132,988 in scholarships, and several have gone on to attend these universities. SUMMER PROGRAMS: ASAP’s Summer Theater Intensive, for ages 10-17, provides an opportunity for participants to learn all aspects of putting on a play, including developing character roles, creating costumes, and building sets and props. The program culminates in a stage production held at Shepaug Valley High School auditorium; the performance is free and open to the public. ASAP’s Summer Camp offers a multidisciplinary arts curriculum for children and teenagers ages 4-14. The camp is held at Washington Montessori School from 9:00am-3:30pm for the first two weeks in August. Children stage their own production and art shows, and attend performances by professional dancers and musicians.


THE INTER-DISTRICT PROJECT: The IDP brings together students from diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds from the rural regions and cities of Northwest CT. Under the guidance of arts professionals, participants collaborate on creative projects in art, dance, poetry, and music. These experiences help students to build selfconfidence and teamwork skills as they develop social awareness and make new friendships across cultural lines. ASAP is funded in part by The Wayne M. Gnazzo and Family Fund at The Community Foundation of NWCT; Union Savings Bank; the Diebold Foundation; a gift of the Jean and Julien Levy Foundation for the Arts; Regional School District #12; The Connecticut Community Foundation; Gould Family Foundation; and The Lilac Foundation.

THANK YOU

for all of your support!


About Pilobolus Pilobolus began in 1971 as an outsider dance company and quickly became renowned the world over for its imaginative and athletic exploration of creative collaboration. It has since evolved into a pioneering American arts organization of the 21st century. The company now revolves around three nuclei of activity: PILOBOLUS DANCE THEATRE, the umbrella for a series of radically innovative and globally acclaimed concert dance companies; PILOBOLUS CREATIVE SERVICES, a division specializing in a wide range of movement services for film, advertising, publishing, commercial clients, and corporate events; and THE PILOBOLUS INSTITUTE, unique educational programming for schools, colleges, and public arts organizations, as well as a series of classes and leadership workshops for corporate executives, employees, and business schools. Our 2011 season marks Pilobolus’ 40th year. In keeping with the energy and spirit of our biological namesake, the company has continued to grow toward the light, expanding and refining its unique methods of collective creative production to assemble a repertoire of over 100 choreographic works, and while it has become a stable and influential force in the world of dance, Pilobolus remains as protean as ever, looking forward to the next 40 yearscollaborating on the future.

Pilobolus Dance Theatre Pilobolus is based in Washington Depot, Connecticut and performs for stage and television audiences all over the world. The company has appeared late at night on the Tonight Show, early in the morning on Sesame Street, and in primetime as a feature on CBS’s 60 Minutes. Pilobolus has performed live shows in 63 countries and has received a number of prestigious honors, including the Berlin Critic’s Prize, the Scotsman Award, the Brandeis Award, a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding achievement in cultural programming, and, in 2010, the Dance Magazine Award, which recognizes artists who have made lasting contributions to the field. Pilobolus works also appear in the repertories of major American and European dance companies, and, in June 2000, the company received the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for lifetime achievement in choreography. In 2005 Pilobolus transferred its archive to Dartmouth College, where the company originated. Dartmouth College has been growing the “living archive” with a series of new work commissions. To expand its collaborative practices, Pilobolus launched the International Collaborators Project in 2007, a series of collective choreographic projects with multi-disciplinary artists, such as writer and illustrator, Maurice Sendak; the Israeli choreographic team, Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak; the remarkable American puppeteer, Basil Twist; Steven Banks, head writer for SpongeBob SquarePants, and singer-songwriter David Poe who collaborated on a fullevening movement-theater piece, SHADOWLAND; Pulitzer Prize winner, comic artist Art Spiegelman; and the Grammy-winning American composer and musician Dan Zanes. This year’s ICP guest artists include the band OK Go, the MIT Distributed Robotics Laboratory directed by Professor Daniela Rus, and


the Japanese choreographer Takuya Muramatsu.

Pilobolus Creative Services The second arm of the company’s activity is Pilobolus Creative Services, a choreographic and performance collective providing movement design and production for commercial applications in business and advertising. PCS has made television spots for Mobil, Ford, Toyota, Opel, Hyundai, Multicentrum, BBVA, Bidvest, and Proctor and Gamble, and created live events for IBM, McKinsey, United Technologies, Dupont, Merck, and Google. In 2007 the company created and presented 6 acclaimed performances during the 79th Annual Academy Awards, as well as producing a series of original segments for the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”. PCS has also produced two books for national distribution, Twisted Yoga and The Human Alphabet, and releases an annual calendar of dance photography in collaboration with a number of noted American photographers. In Spring 2009, one of eight spots created for the NFL Network was nominated for an Emmy Award in Sports, and the company’s website was nominated for a Webby Award in Best Photography.

The Pilobolus Institute The Institute is a series of educational programs that apply Pilobolus’ collective creative process for greater good, helping groups of any kind work better together and achieve greater common goals. The Pilobolus Institute was founded to articulate, preserve and propagate the underlying values that drive this work and its creative methodology, offering classes, workshops, and extended residency programs for children and adults. The Institute also makes a particular effort to provide its services to non-dancers of all ages, including a variety of leadership workshops for corporations and business schools around the country. The range of activity is broad, yet each of the Institute’s programs is grounded in the company’s fundamental belief that skilled collaboration in small groups is a uniquely powerful mechanism for invention and efficient production. The work of the Pilobolus Institute is rigorous. It requires participants to enter into an authentically challenging collaborative experience, not a theoretical description of it. It also provides the rare opportunity to explore creative relationships of genuine emotional depth and to discover in the process things about yourself and others that can change your life. Following the wishes of Co-Founder Jonathan Wolken and his family, Pilobolus has established the “Jonathan Wolken Education Fund,” the purpose of which is to help spread the spirit of Jonathan’s teaching and methods to students and artists of all ages through the Pilobolus Institute.

He has set his work on the Joffrey, Ohio, Hartford, Nancy and Verona Ballets and choreographed a production of Mozart’s Magic Flute with John Eliot Gardiner, the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, and a national tour production for the National Theater of the Deaf. Mr. Tracy taught at Yale University for two decades and lives in northwestern Connecticut.

During his career he created 46 works for Pilobolus, in collaboration with its other artistic directors, with guest artists and as sole choreographer. He also choreographed for the Glyndebourne Festival Opera’s production of Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are”, and created “Oneiric” featured in a jointly produced Danish Television feature for members of the Royal Danish Ballet.
