Diakinesis; The last stage of the prophase of meiosis in which chromosomes start to separate after crossing over. From the Greek words meaning "moving through." A transitioning phase.
Watch the evolution of pillardance from the traditional dance setting and into a more surreal reality. Witness the natural progression of a dance company's maturation process. And glimpse the creative pathways that pillar is undertaking... "We're all mad here."
Founded in 2010, pillardance is a Philadelphia-based contemporary dance company dedicated to the creation and performance of original works by Courtney Colon. Pillar strives to present dance as a high level art form, while at the same time still appealing to a broader, non-dance audience. Our mission is to make dance accessible, without losing our artistry. We achieve this in part by being influenced by many different styles within the dance world, and never taking ourselves too seriously.
