He choreographs dance sculptures that blend acrobatics, gymnastics, mime, costumes, and film.

Early years

In Lyndon, Vermont, a boy was born and raised on a dairy farm. At the Caledonia County Fair, Pendleton displayed Holstein Friesians.

He attended Dartmouth College, graduating in 1971 with a BA in English Literature. He co-founded Pilobolus, which gained international recognition for its blend of acrobatics, body sculpture, and humor in the same year. In 1977, Pierre Cardin introduced the company on Broadway. Pendleton left the company to begin MOMIX four years later.
