Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival 2022
Ronald K. Brown / EVIDENCE
Ted Shawn Theatre | June 29–July 3
Ronald K. Brown / EVIDENCE has deeply moved audiences for over 30 years. “No major choreographer has worked harder to bring spiritual awareness to the human heart than Ronald K. Brown,” writes the Washington Post. “His dances concern our struggle to find love and connection, where compassion alone can ease the grueling physical journey of life.”

The Great Lawn Tent | July 1–2
Two award-winning artists working together for the first time—choreographer Loni Landon and experimental harpist Mary Lattimore—bring to the Pillow’s outdoor stage a work originally created for the expansive Green-Wood historic cemetery in Brooklyn. Each performance will include the music of Lattimore’s harp performed by LEYA with new movement choreographed by Landon for seven up-and-coming dancers.
