The Pilobolus Dance Theatre established in 1971 was immediately acclaimed for its originality, wit, and freshness. The group introduced a new approach to choreography called collective creativity or choreography by consensus and a new weight sharing approach of group partnering. This involved gymnastics with a tangling of bodies, convoluted group shapes, and sculptures of linked and connected bodies that did not quite resemble human beings. Much has been written about the innovations of the physics of body weight sharing and leverages and the relationship of the dancers' bodies to each other in creating sculpture, respectively the body and space aspects of Laban Movement Analysis. However, the innovations of the effort aspect, the movement dynamics, have not been fully identified. Dance critic Arlene Croce (1978) came closest to it when she described the movement as smooth with a lack of “what dancers call dynamics.” Dynamics concern four motion factors: flow with dynamic qualities of bound and free effort; weight, strong and light; time, quick and sustained; and space, direct and flexible. The movement analysis focused on two early works, Ocellus and Ciona, presented in the Pilobolus Dance Theatre video produced by Dance in America in 1977. The research procedure entailed multiple viewings of the video. The findings indicate that the baseline of the movement style is a combination of the motion factors of flow and weight, called the dreamlike state in Laban theory. The predominance of these dynamics presents the smoothness that Croce attributes to the Pilobolus style. The flow is usually medium to bound intensity and the weight, medium to strong intensity. The time factor serves as a contrast moving from the even flow into sustained effort or a more infrequent contrast, quick effort as in the wavelike progressions in Ocellus. The space effort is not pronounced but is used as an unexpected contrast as in the burst of direct/sudden/strong effort in Ciona where the dancers free themselves from each other. In summary, the innovative features of Pilobolus' movement dynamics include the predominance of an evenness of effort qualities of the flow and weight factors with the absence of the space factor's significance and the limited use of effort contrasts, which contribute to creating images of creatures and nonhumans.
