When I told my daughter we were going to a magical forest to dance, her eyes lit up and she began to jump and twirl. That’s exactly what the Pillow is for me. Sacred ground that stirs inspiration and connection. The memories and the art that are in the walls, wood, ground and trees are an embrace. You feel like you’re home.

This residency is nothing short of a blessing. Dance and rhythm are transformative. The Pillow and it’s magic are transformative.

In a parting salute to thirty years of extraordinary performances in the Doris Duke Theatre, a new playlist on Jacob's Pillow Dance Interactive focuses on some of the premieres, debuts, and commissions which enlivened that space from its inception in 1990 until its destruction in 2020. We gratefully offer these reminders of all the adventuresome artistry that was displayed within the Duke's walls over its lifetime. These performances will forever live on in our memories as ...well as in the Pillow Archives.

In a time where we’ve lost so much and suffered through so much, this residency is a breath of fresh air and a lifeline of sorts. As an artist, opportunities like this during a pandemic can be the difference between someone continuing their artistry or giving up. This process has been healing on so many levels.
