In that same year he co-founded Pilobolus, which won acclaim for its blend of acrobatics, body sculpture, and humor.
Pendleton performed a solo dance called "MOMIX" with Pilobolus at the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.
Over the past 40 years MOMIX repertoire has included full-evening works such as Passion, with a score by Peter Gabriel; In Orbit; Baseball; Opus Cactus; Lunar Sea; MOMIX: Remix; Botanica[citation needed]; Alchemy and the company's latest creation, Alice.
[citation needed] Pendleton states, "we're less of a dance company than a physical, visual theater, using props and costumes to create fascinating pictures.
[citation needed] An avid photographer, Pendleton's work has been exhibited in London, Milan, Montreal, Aspen, and Rome.
