Season Opening Gala
June 19, 2010
It's a dance party like no other -- the 2010 Season Opening Gala of Jacob's Pillow Dance. The evening includes an exclusive program featuring a solo performance of The Dying Swan by beloved ballet star Nina Ananiashvili, Monica Bill Barnes & Company in witty new work with music by James Brown, a whirlwind solo by Kyle Abraham, a scintillating duet by Camille A. Brown, and other surprise guests. The event also includes a world premiere created by acclaimed choreographer Karole Armitage on the talented dancers of the Ballet Program of The School at Jacob's Pillow. A new film from the Jacob's Pillow Archives will premiere and the prestigious 2010 Jacob's Pillow Dance Award will be presented to Bill T. Jones. A sumptuous dinner and live and silent auctions follow, and performers and Gala attendees dance the night away to a red hot band under a tent on the Great Lawn.
The Gala is co-chaired by Pillow Board members Helice Picheny and Hunter Runnette. For tickets and information call 413.243.9919 x126.
