The dance company, Pilobolus, came to Canton and performed, Pilobolus is a Fungus. This interactive performance for families based on Branches had the audience take a journey through nature, perceiving the sounds, shapes, colors, and movements of birds, water, trees, and of course, our namesake fungus, in new and unexpected ways.
The dance company held a class at Mills Pond Park before their perforrnance. Many folks came out to enjoy the show.
