    The founding members were Robby Barnett, Alison Becker Chase, Martha Clarke, Lee Harris, Moses Pendleton, Michael Tracy, and Jonathan Wolken. Allison remained until 2006 as artistic director and her and the other founding members choreographed new works collectively. Why is Renee Jaworski rewriting history at the expense of the women who Pilobolus owes its origins to as well as the first 35 years of its existence ?
