Pilobolus will perform at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11, 2012, at the Shepaug School Auditorium in Washington. Ticket information for Pilobolus shows in Washington is available on the After Schools Arts Program website.

A live performance of the dance from the "All is Not Lost" music video will take place at the shows, according to the Pilobolus blog.

"Working with Pilobolus – and of course with Trish [director and choreographer Trish Sie] was great because they share our belief that last century’s creative boundaries are irrelevant," said OK Go singer Damian Kulash in the Pilobolus announcement of the Grammy nomination. "These days, a great creative idea is a great creative idea, period. You don’t have to choose in advance whether your outlet is records or films or dances or a computer program. Videos don’t have to be subordinate advertising material for albums, and dance doesn’t have to be confined to the theater. We were like peas in a pod with Pilobolus, trying to make something that lives in the world of dance and music video and digital space, but isn’t confined to any of those spaces alone."
