The People Pile

es. Since 2010 they have been building a multi-creative culture. Their penchant for performance and flare to dance in alternative spaces, allows them to be adaptable and thoughtful to new environments. THE PEOPLE PILE create dance experiences which ignite artful play and encourage freedom within conventional situations. Their walkabout performances combine detailed technical dances wrapped in bizarre and engaging concepts, they interact with people, jumping between impressive formations, humorous moments, energetic movements, and human interactions. The People Pile encourage alternative communication, showing, sharing, and stirring the people and spaces they encounter.
