Contemporary Dance Theater's 2002-03 season marks 30 years of bringing contemporary dance and performance to the Tristate. Topping the list of guest artists is Pilobolus Dance Theatre, a group that invented its own way of moving.

        Originally scheduled to perform here in the spring of 2001, the Pilobolus concert was canceled because of the riots. Contemporary Dance Theater director Jefferson James has been trying to schedule a replacement date ever since.

        Because of the group's busy schedule, performances will be on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings with an earlier start time of 7:30 p.m. The other six CDT concerts will be the usual 8:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

        Also eagerly anticipated is a visit by Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, one of the country's most respected and passion-filled modern groups. Its repertory is a national resource of some of the greatest names in 20th-century American dance, particularly African-American choreographers who have helped to shape the modern movement. This year's repertory will include new works honoring the centennial anniversary of man's first flight.
