Jacobs Pillow gathers Four U.S. choreographers from the now-cancelled Festival 2020 gather for a special discussion 5pm, Wed. May 20.

Jacob’s Pillow is excited to join with four U.S. choreographers—all of whose companies had planned to perform in-person at the 2020 Festival—to unpack some thoughts on the present, and plans for the future. We will be asking:
  • What are they thinking about in this time of quarantine? Are they creating work?
  • What might the role of live performance be post-COVID?
  • What might performances look like that take into account social distancing strategies?
  • What makes a successful digital dance experience?
