About Us:
Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival is the oldest continuously-running dance festival in the United States and a National Historic Landmark based in the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts. The Pillow aims to support dance creation, presentation, education, and preservation; and to engage and deepen public appreciation and support for dance.
Jacob's Pillow encompasses an acclaimed international Festival, a professional School, rare and extensive Archives open to the public free of charge, an Intern Program, and year-round Community Programs. The historic site includes 161 acres, 31 buildings, three unique stages (including the first theater in the U.S. built specifically for dance), three dance studios, exhibition spaces, restaurants, the Pillow Store, residential housing, administrative offices, a health center, gardens, trails, and woodlands.
The Pillow presents international dance in all forms, styles, and traditions, and approximately 200 free events each season, including performances, lectures, tours, film showings, exhibits, and talks with artists from all over the world, which yield approximately 80,000 visitor experiences annually.
