Lois Greenfield: Imagined Moments
Blake's Barn
Open Tues-Sun, noon--after the show
With a style that is instantly recognizable and frequently emulated, Lois Greenfield has been at the forefront of dance photography for more than three decades. She collaborates with dancers in creating non-repeatable moments that are improvised and often risky, capturing bodies thrillingly in mid-air. In this exclusive new exhibition are some of the imagined moments that Greenfield has developed into a unique body of work, exploring movement potential with endless variety.
Arnie Zane on Bill T. Jones
Ted Shawn Theatre
Open 30 minutes pre-performance
The early career of Bill T. Jones was shaped by his relationship with Arnie Zane (1948-1988), the dancer, choreographer, and company co-founder. Zane was also an insightful and provocative photographer, whose works were exhibited in prominent venues in the 1970s and collected in a posthumous catalog and retrospective exhibit in 1999.
Pilates at the Pillow
Doris Duke Theatre
Open 30 minutes pre-performance
Although Pilates is widely recognized as one of the world's most popular forms of exercise, the system's originator and his connections with both dance and the Berkshires are less evident. Joseph Pilates was a prominent member of the Pillow faculty in the 1940s and 50s, and he owned a house nearby until his death in 1967. On display here for the first time are some reminders of his pioneering work at the Pillow, including rare photographs, correspondence, class schedules, and other unique items.
Another Dance to Jules Feiffer
Blake's Barn
Open Tues-Sun, noon--after the show
The ground-breaking exhibition of dance imagery by the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer, which debuted last summer, receives a richly-deserved encore in this collection of original watercolors and drawings. Feiffer's memorable solo dancer in a black leotard returns along with new works.
John Van Lund
Bakalar Studio
Open to the public whenever classes are not in session
As staff photographer at the Pillow beginning in the late 1940s, John Van Lund (1916-2009) captured generations of important dancers on film. As a memorial tribute to his many years of faithful service and the generous donation of his complete collection of negatives and prints to the Jacob's Pillow Archives, highlights of his vast output are on view here.
Jacob's Pillow Archives
Blake's Barn
