In this site-specific world premiere, Dorrance Dance explored the unique and enchanting environment of the Pillow grounds. These special daytime performances took audiences on a roving journey that showcased the Pillow’s campus in a never-before-seen (nor-heard) way.  

Commissioned by Jacob’s Pillow with leadership support from Gerry and Hank Alpert.
