“The Pillow has been a constant in my life since I was 14. I would travel from my childhood nome in Northfield, MA to attend shows whenever I could. Both my children, now grown, spent many summer nights at the I/O stage, watching all sorts of dance. What a fantastic venue to introduce children to the lively arts.”

“In our day and age, creative artists don’t have any time to perfect their work or even to make their work because they’re so busy doing other jobs that they have to do to keep their lives to get here. These residencies are really important - to have a place where you don’t have to worry about distractions. They can just concentrate on their art. That’s why I support the Pillow, always. We need these places more and more now. “

“Participating in Jacob’s Pillow as a young student and now as an audience member and supporter has truly enriched my life. It is my profound desire that the Pillow be able to continue to nurture careers of its dedicated students, inspire its audiences, empower performing artists around the world, and ensure that the magnificent art of dance flourishes for generations.”
