June 6, 2017 – (Becket, MA) Celebrating the power of Jacob’s Pillow’s natural setting, internationally acclaimed dance company Pilobolus Dance Theater will premiere a new work commissioned specifically for the Pillow’s iconic outdoor Inside/Out performance space, set against the Berkshire hills. The program featuring the world premiere and On the Nature of Things will kick off the Festival’s 2017 free Inside/Out performance series with an extended three-day run, June 21-23.
Founded in 1971 with their Pillow debut just three years later, Pilobolus is known for its unique dance creations which break movement and visual boundaries, and reveal the graphic capabilities of the human body in surprising ways.

This free performance will be presented on the open-air Henry J. Leir Stage.
