Inside/Out
"I am convinced that there is no other place like the Pillow. To have an entire campus devoted to dance revitalizes the dancer's soul, connecting it to the roots, as well as the future of dance."
- Sabrina Jaafar, Contemporary Traditions student
2010 Festival Events
Bring family and friends of all ages to the Inside/Out series, which offers free
performances by emerging and established dance companies, sneak previews, and presentations by dancers of The School at Jacob's Pillow every Wednesday through Saturday at 6:15pm during the Festival.
The Marcia & Seymour Simon Performance Space Inside/Out is an outdoor stage with a panoramic vista of the Berkshires Hills. Sponsorship opportunities for Inside/Out performances are available. Artists interested in the Inside/Out series should click here for information.
For Inside/Out performances, the audience sits on low wooden benches, at picnic tables, or on folding chairs, and views the performance against the stunning backdrop of the Berkshire Hills. Both the artists and audience are surrounded by nature. The Inside/Out audience is comprised of both dance aficionados who come to Jacob's Pillow on a regular basis, as well as those who may be newcomers to the art form. Inside/Out is attended by everyone from babies to elders--and sometimes a few dogs, too.
The duration of the artist's program is approximately 35 minutes, followed by a brief question and answer session with the audience. As it is summertime, the performances take place in daylight.
When the elements threaten, Inside/Out becomes "outside/in". Please call the box office at 413.243.0745 the day of the performance, after 5:30pm, to learn if the performance has been moved to another venue on campus.
Our 2010 schedule will be announced in the Spring.
