I’ve finally posted my pictures from the dance festival this week in my photo album here. Just double-click on each picture for a larger photo and the caption. I tried to get as many pictures as I could of Rasta Thomas and his “Bad Boys of Dance” performing at the free outdoor show prior to their actual in-theater debut. I was also blown away by Zimbabwean dance-maker Nora Chipaumire of “Urban Bush Women” performing a solo called “Dark Swan” so I have several of her, as well as Argentinian choreographer Jimena Paz performing on that same outdoor stage immediately after Chipaumire. I will blog about all the dance performances I saw very shortly!
I also included our goofy adventures (barely) surviving a modern dance class at the Pillow and side-trips to the Norman Rockwell museum and a Shaker Village. Enjoy 🙂
Thanks for posting these photos. It made me miss the Pillow so much though. I was just talking to someone today about how I used to make a yearly trip there just as it got really hot in DC.
Hi Boris! Thanks for visiting my blog! This was my first time at the Pillow and it was such a great experience. I just want to go back… Funny, I expected it to be a lot cooler up there, but it was really hot and humid, just like down here. There’s no escape from the heat! I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.
I love all your pictures!! I’ve always wanted to visit the Pillow (and the Berkshires in general). I’m glad you such a good time. Can’t wait to read your write-ups.
please review rasta thomas’ performance! 🙂 can’t wait to hear about it…
Well you’ve really whet my appetite for Jacob’s Pillow. I love the Berkshires and have spent a little time there for various things but never the Pillow. A must-do for next summer. Thanks for the pics!

Oh, Tonya…I meant to tell you how hot & sticky it can be up there in the Berkshires. I love your photos and can’t wait for this Thursday when Wei & I leave for my first trip to the Pillow in a decade and Wei’s first ever.
Thanks, you guys — I’m glad everyone liked the pictures! Jennifer, I’m almost done with the post — it’s just taking longer than I expected — plus, I absolutely had to go back to that Michalek exhibit tonight, for one last time 🙁
