Pilobolus When it began making dances in the 1970s, Pilobolus was like almost nothing else in the modern dance world. Here was a collection of guys who combined sport and gymnastics skills to create a kind of trompe-l’oeil repertory where forms seemed to evolve or morph like fantasy characters. Since then, the company itself has spawned a number of groups and artists (Momix, ISO, Portland’s BodyVox) that have applied that tricky aesthetic wherever they’ve gone. But in the meantime, the original group has continued to develop its innovative alternative style. (Through Sat.) SANDRA KURTZ Meany Hall for the Performing Arts, UW Campus, Seattle, WA 98105 $51-$56 Thursday, May 14, 2015, 8pm

Sistas Rock the Arts This is a six-week series, where a different host offers a different style and flavor with dance, music, spoken work, and an open mic. Rumba Notes Lounge, 5041 Rainier Ave. S.Seattle WA Donations appreciated Thursday, May 14, 2015, 8pm
