We should take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we are gathered. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people. Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands. https://diversity.ucdavis.edu

ABOUT THE COMPANY MOMIX, a company of dancer-illusionists under the direction of Moses Pendleton, has been presenting work of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty for 40 years. From its base in Washington, Connecticut, the company has developed a devoted worldwide following. In addition to stage performances, MOMIX has also worked in film and television, as well as corporate advertising, with national commercials for Hanes and Target, and presentations for Mercedes-Benz, Fiat and Pirelli. With performances on PBS’s Dance in America series, France’s Antenne II, and Italian RAI television, the company’s repertory has been beamed to 55 countries. The Rhombus Media film of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition with MOMIX and the Montreal Symphony was winner of an International Emmy for Best Performing Arts Special. MOMIX was also featured in IMAGINE, one of the first 3-D IMAX films released in IMAX theaters worldwide. MOMIX dancers Cynthia Quinn and Karl Baumann, under Moses Pendleton’s direction, played the role of “Bluey” in the feature film F/X2, and White Widow, co-choreographed by Pendleton and Quinn, was featured in Robert Altman’s movie The Company. With nothing more than light, shadow, fabric, props, and the human body, MOMIX continues to astonish and delight audiences on five continents. WHO’S WHO IN THE COMPANY Moses Pendleton, artistic director Moses Pendleton has been one of America’s most innovative and widely performed choreographers and directors for almost 50 years. A co-founder of the groundbreaking Pilobolus Dance Theater in 1971, he formed his own company, MOMIX, in 1980. Pendleton has also worked extensively in film, TV, and opera and as a choreographer for ballet companies and special events. Pendleton was born and raised on a dairy farm in Northern Vermont. His earliest experiences as a showman came from exhibiting his family’s dairy cows at the Caledonian County Fair. He received his B.A. in English Literature from Dartmouth College in 1971. Pilobolus began touring immediately, and the group shot to fame in the 1970s, performing on Broadway under the sponsorship of Pierre Cardin, touring internationally, and appearing in PBS’s Dance in America and Great Performances series. By the end of the decade, Pendleton had begun to work outside of Pilobolus, performing in and serving as principal choreographer for the Paris Opera’s Intégrale Erik Satie in 1979 and choreographing the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid in 1980. In that same year he created MOMIX, which rapidly established an international reputation for inventive and often illusionistic choreography. The troupe has now been creating new work under his direction and touring worldwide for four decades.
Pendleton has also been active as a performer and choreographer for other companies. He staged Picabia’s Dadaist ballet Relâche for the Paris Opera Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet, and Tutuguri, based on the writings of Artaud, for the Deutsche Oper Berlin. He created the role of “the Fool” for Yuri Lyubimov’s production of Mussorgsky’s Khovanschina at La Scala, choreographed Rameau’s Platée for the U.S. Spoleto Festival, and contributed choreography to Lina Wertmüller’s production of Carmen at the Munich State Opera. Pendleton has created new works for the Arizona Ballet and the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and he teamed up with Danny Ezralow and David Parsons, both former MOMIX dancers, to choreograph AEROS with the Romanian National Gymnastics Team. Most recently, Pendleton choreographed The Doves of Peace, featuring Diana Vishneva and 50 Russian ballerinas, for the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi. Pendleton’s film and television work includes the feature film F/X2 with Cynthia Quinn, Moses Pendleton Presents Moses Pendleton for ABC ARTS cable (winner of a CINE Golden Eagle award), and Pictures at an Exhibition with Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony, which received an International Emmy for Best Performing Arts Special in 1991. Pendleton has also made music videos with Prince, Julian Lennon and Cathy Dennis, among others. Pendleton is an avid photographer whose work has been presented in Rome, Milan, Florence and Aspen. Images of the sunflower plantings at his home in northwestern Connecticut have been featured in numerous books and articles on gardening. He is the subject of Salto di Gravita by Lisavetta Scarbi (1999), and his photographs accompany the 16 cantos of Phil Holland’s The Dance Must Follow (2015), which takes Pendleton’s own creative process as its subject. Pendleton was a recipient of the Connecticut Commission on the Arts Governor’s Award in 1998. He received the Positano Choreographic Award in 1999 and the 2002 American Choreography Award for his contributions to choreography for film and television. In 2010, Pendleton received an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts (H.D.F.A.) from the University of the Arts in Pennsylvania and delivered the commencement address to the graduates. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1977. Cynthia Quinn, associate director Cynthia Quinn grew up in Southern California. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California at Riverside and continued there as an associate in dance for five years. In 1988 she received the University’s Alumni Association’s Outstanding Young Graduate Award. As a member of Pilobolus in the 1980s, she performed on Broadway and throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Israel and Japan, and she collaborated on the choreography of Day Two, Elegy for the Moment, Mirage, What Grows in Huygens Window and Stabat Mater.

She has also appeared as a guest artist with the Ballet Théâtre Française de Nancy, the Deutsche Oper Berlin Ballet, and the Munich State Opera, as well as international galas in Italy, France and Japan. Quinn made her film debut as “Bluey” (a role she shared with Karl Baumann) in F/X2. She was a featured performer in the Emmy Award–winning Pictures at an Exhibition with the Montreal Symphony and has also appeared in the 3D IMAX film IMAGINE. Quinn is a board member of the Nutmeg Conservatory in Torrington, Connecticut, and is on the advisory board of the Torrington’s Susan B. Anthony Project. She was featured with Ru Paul and k.d. lang for M.A.C. Cosmetics’ Fashion Cares benefits in Toronto and Vancouver. Quinn is co-choreographer of “White Widow,” which is featured prominently in the Robert Altman’s The Company. Quinn was also featured in the film First Born, with Elisabeth Shue. Most recently, she co-choreographed “The Doves of Peace,” featuring Diana Vishneva, for the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
