Article by Dave Read.
Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival’s 2014 schedule lists some 52 companies presenting dance performances on three stages: Ted Shawn Theatre, Doris Duke Theatre, and the open-air Henry J. Leir Stage, home to the Pillow’s free Inside/Out Performance Series. The Jacob’s Pillow season runs June 14-August 24, 2014 and will include 350 free and ticketed dance performances, talks, tours, exhibits, films, classes, and community events.
Jacob’s Pillow and MASS MoCA will co-present David Neumann: Solo Works on April 26 at MASS MoCA. Crossing the lines between dance and theatre, performer and audience, Neumann will present a series of wry, witty works that span his 20-year career. Tickets available at massmoca.org.
