MOMIX

MOMIX, una compañía de danza con sede en Washington, Connecticut , fue fundada en 1981 por el coreógrafo Moses Pendleton . MOMIX se concibió a partir de un trabajo que Pendleton realizó para la celebración de Erik Satie en la Ópera de París en 1978. ^{[ 1 ]} La compañía toma su nombre de un solo, "Momix", que Pendleton creó para los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de 1980 en Lake Placid. Como ramificación de la compañía de danza Pilobolus , que Pendleton cofundó en 1971, MOMIX presenta obras que combinan acrobacias, danza, gimnasia, mimo, utilería y cine en un entorno teatral. La compañía ha realizado giras internacionales, actuando en cinco continentes. MOMIX es una compañía de danza contemporánea con fines de lucro .

Teatro, cine y televisión

MOMIX has made five Italian RAI television features broadcast to 55 countries (including the USSR and China) and has performed on Antenne II in France. MOMIX was also featured in PBS's “Dance in America” series and on Canadian television with Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony in the Rhombus Media film of Mussorgsky's “Pictures at an Exhibition,” winner of an International Emmy for Best Performing Arts Special.

In 1992, Pendleton created "Bat Habits," developed with the support of the Scottsdale (Arizona) Cultural Council/Scottsdale Center for the Arts and the University of Washington to celebrate the opening of the San Francisco Giants' new spring training park in Scottsdale, Arizona. This work was the forerunner of “Baseball,” which was created by Pendleton in 1994.

MOMIX is featured in one of the first IMAX films in 3-D, “IMAGINE,” which premiered at the Taejon Expo 93 and was subsequently released at IMAX theatres worldwide. In the film “FX II,” under the direction of Moses Pendleton, MOMIX dancers Cynthia Quinn and Karl Baumann star in the role of “Bluey.” In 2004, “White Widow,” co-choreographed by Pendleton and Cynthia Quinn, was featured in Robert Altman's movie, “The Company.” The company has also participated in the "Homage a Picasso" in Paris and was selected to represent the United States at the European Cultural Center at Delphi.
