Festival 2021
Online Events

Watch and dance, wherever you are.


Digital content available July 1 – September 23

Our 2021 festival extended well beyond the Jacob’s Pillow grounds. This summer featured full performances on-demand, livestreamed presentations and community events, and hear from the artists themselves in our signature PillowTalks series.  Read a statement from the Festival curators to learn more about the line-up.

Jacob’s Pillow rests on the traditional lands of the Agawam, the Nipmuc, the Pocumtuc, and the Mohican and we honor their elders past, present, and future.

PILLOWTALKS

PillowTalks are a curated series of entertaining and informative discussions with choreographers, writers, filmmakers, and cultural experts. Moderated by Pillow Scholars, PillowTalks provide an opportunity to gain behind-the-scenes insight into the field of dance.

 

Hour-long PillowTalks took place on-site Sundays at 3:30pm at Blake’s Barn (next to the Box Office), and were free and open to the public with advance registration. Recordings of online PillowTalks were shared throughout the summer, premiering Fridays at 4pm.
