David Hallberg, celebrated principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, will join Jacoby & Pronk and Dancers for the ensemble's exclusive engagement at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, July 21-25.
Hallberg, who trained at the Paris Opera Ballet School, has become a standout performer on the American dance scene in recent years. In his recent retrospective on the past decade in dance, chief dance critic of The New York Times Alastair Macaulay stated "I watch David Hallberg and believe that America has never produced a finer example of the princely, noble type of dancer." Macaulay has previously praised Hallberg as being "prodigiously fluent in technique," concluding that "his brilliance...seems an all-time peak of accomplishment and style."
Drew Jacoby and Rubinald Pronk have performed with some of the world's most acclaimed contemporary ballet companies including Christopher Wheeldon's Morphoses. In addition to Hallberg they are joined by Shirley Esseboom, formerly of Nederlands Dans Theatre and Victor Mateos Arellano of Dresden SemperOper Ballett, exclusively at Jacob's Pillow. This engagment offers a rare opportunity to see international dance stars in the intimate setting of the Pillow's Doris Duke Theatre, a versatile dance space with 220 seats.
