Auto-bodies.
You could say that Pilobolus dancers have drive. Literally. Always
the illusionists, their bodies can mold into any shape-and this time
it's a car. The recent ads (TV right, print below) for the Hyundai
Santa Fe shows these dancers creating scenes with nothing but their
nearly bare bodies. They play each other like instruments: Two bodies
arched backwards form a harp, an upside-down dancer resembles a cello,
and two dancers' bottoms become bongo drums. And finally, the
bodies stack up to form the filled-in shape of the car, identical to the
real thing. Wonder what their mileage is? See the spot at
