It was the first time Pilobolus had allowed outsiders to contribute to their unique process, and the result was a dark and masterful rumination on the Holocaust called A Selection. While the end result may have been a brilliant success, the journey to that point was awkward and contentious, to say the least. Mirra Bank\u2019s 2002 documentary Last Dance provides an intimate look at the backstage drama, the dance\u2019s evolution, and Sendak\u2019s imagination at work. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>And this is where I think Sendak and Pilobolus finally found their common ground: in a form\u2014the human body or a picture book\u2014so seemingly humble and quiet, but so ready to explode emotionally. As Sendak says in &#8220;Last Dance&#8221;: &#8220;You make the whole thing up anyway. You sit there, they sit there, we\u2019re all making it up\u2026. So if you\u2019re making it up, make it up good.&#8221; (<a href=\" http:\/\/blogs.publishersweekly.com\/blogs\/shelftalker\/?p=337\">Via<\/a>) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>R.I.P Maurice Bernard Sendak &#8211; (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maurice_Sendak\">June 10, 1928 \u2013 May 8, 2012)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1509268\/ \">TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT: A PORTRAIT OF MAURICE SENDAK<\/a> 2009 directed by Lance Bangs, Spike Jonze.<\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>Maurice Sendak&#8217;s Opera inspired <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/entertainment\/archive\/2012\/05\/maurice-sendaks-unreleased-opera-inspired-drawings-and-prints\/256999\/\">drawings here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pilobolus &#038; Maurice Sendak In 1999 the dance troupe teamed up with a pair of unlikely collaborators: Maurice Sendak and opera director Arthur Yorinks.
