Jacobs Pillow
At Jacobs Pillow, our mission is to support dance creation, presentation, education, and preservation; and to engage and deepen public appreciation and support for dance. The Pillow began as a family farm in the 1700s, and was a station on the Underground Railroad in the 1800s. Legendary dancer and choreographer Ted Shawn founded the dance center in 1933, making Jacobs Pillow the longest running dance festival in the United States. The Ted Shawn Theatre is the first theatre built specifically for dance in the U.S. and an unprecedented roster of debuts, world premieres, and the worlds most extraordinary artists have studied, created, taught and performed here. For its cultural leadership and prominence in American history, Jacobs Pillow was awarded National Historic Landmark status in 2003.
