Photographer John Kane and the dancers of the Pilobolus Dance Theater carried out an interesting project - they created all the letters of the English alphabet from human bodies. It turned out very bright, positive and unusual.
John Caine invited six acrobats from dance theater to his studio in Lichfield, Connecticut. Over the course of four days, trained dancers twisted into intricate poses until all 26 letters of the alphabet, from A to Z were recreated. It was not difficult to depict some letters - for example, I or A - while others had to sweat a lot. … According to the project participants, the letters C and R turned out to be the most difficult. "I cannot tell you how we ended up making them, but I assure you that we could do without Photoshop," says John Cain, who has been working as a photographer for 30 years.
The resulting photographs were used by John Kane to create the alphabet, which, according to his idea, should attract the attention of both adults and children. The book with such unusual illustrations, called “Pilobolus - The Human Alphabet,” is intended to demonstrate the capabilities of talented dancers, help children learn the alphabet and, possibly, inspire children to dance classes.
The Pilobolus team has been surprising the American public with their acrobatic stunts since 1971. The group has received numerous dance awards over the years, and in 2000 won the Samuel Scripps American Dance Festival's Lifetime Achievement in Choreography Award. Photographer John Kane has been collaborating with Pilobolus Dance Theater for 12 years.

It is difficult to surprise someone with the art of body art now.
