Inside/Out
"I am convinced that there is no other place like the Pillow. To have an entire campus devoted to dance revitalizes the dancer's soul, connecting it to the roots, as well as the future of dance."
- Sabrina Jaafar, Contemporary Traditions student
Bring family and friends of all ages to the Inside/Out series, which offers free
performances by emerging and established dance companies, sneak previews, and presentations by dancers of The School at Jacob's Pillow every Wednesday through Saturday at 6:15pm during the Festival.
The Marcia & Seymour Simon Performance Space, affectionately known as "Inside/Out," is an outdoor stage with a panoramic vista of the Berkshires Hills. An essential part of the Pillow's mission and a beloved cultural tradition, Inside/Out is free and open to the public. Every Wednesday - Saturday, audiences of all ages and walks of life travel from around the world and right down the road to meet new people and enjoy the art of dance as a community. This season's Inside/Out performances include classical ballet, tap, jazz/musical theatre dance, hip-hop, flamenco, traditional Korean dance and India's bharata natyam. Performances are family-friendly and are followed by a brief question and answer session with the audience.
Patrons are welcome to arrive early to claim a bench seat or to bring lawn chairs of their own. Food and drink are welcome in the performance space; visitors will often pick up a snack at the Pillow Pub or bring a picnic from home. When the elements threaten, Inside/Out becomes "outside/in" and seating is very limited. Please call the Box Office at 413.243.0745 the day of the performance after 5:15pm to learn if the performance has been moved to another venue on campus.
Sponsorship opportunities for Inside/Out performances are available. Artists interested in the Inside/Out series should click here for information.
