Pilobolus presents BIG FIVE-OH!
Oct 1 @ 8:00 pm
Diana Wortham Theatre

For this 50th anniversary celebration, Pilobolus questions its own “givens,” turns its traditions sideways, and brings its past into the future — in a thoroughly engaging new way. As fresh and vibrant as ever, Pilobolus — that feisty arts organism — puts the ‘Oh!’ in BIG FIVE-OH!, and continues to morph its way thrillingly into audiences’ hearts and minds.

The celebration includes the vintage classic, Untitled, the high-voltage Megawatt, signature shadow works, and a few concepts that have never been seen before!

Pilobolus presents the BIG FIVE-OH!, September 30 & October 1, 2020 at 8PM

Tiny House Meetup
Oct 8 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Whole Foods Market

We’re now associated with a Facebook group (LOTS of other members) at https://www.facebook.com/groups/tinyhouseasheville .

This group was inspired by the need for affordable, sustainable and attractive housing. Driven by the struggles of the economy and combined with Asheville’s inherent sense of creativity, community, and environmental awareness, we are coming together to give life to the idea that there IS a solution to this problem and we can all contribute to each other’s success in achieving that goal… owning an affordable, sustainable, attractive home.

Together, we can better our own lives while helping the planet. All ages & levels of experience welcome! For more information, please see our Calendar of Events or Contact Us.

Our Goals

• Learn more about green building through lectures, tours, workshops, building, and sharing information

• Make green home building more affordable via our volunteer labor

• Bring attention to a housing (and life) crisis solution: A new type of “affordable housing” and the ethos behind it

We are just neighbors helping neighbors.
