Bursting onto the national dance scene as a summer touring company in 2005, the Trey McIntyre Project’s Pillow debut that year led to a return engagement the very next season. In 2008, the company created its home base in Boise, Idaho, and made its official debut as a full-time year-round performing ensemble at the Pillow. Prior to the performance seen here – a world premiere – the company had returned in 2010 with a range of works including Wild Sweet Love. McIntyre was born in Kansas and trained at the North Carolina School of the Arts before joining the Houston Ballet.
