Dichotomous Being: An Evening With Taylor Stanley

July 27-31 on the Henry J. Leir Outdoor Stage at Jacob’s Pillow.

To celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival this summer, we’ve set aside 90 free tickets for all 6:00 PM performances on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage! More information can be found here: Jacob’s Pillow 90 for 90th

Already a celebrated principal dancer with New York City Ballet, Taylor Stanley pursues new movement frontiers for this program alongside special guest artists with Kyle Abraham as the Creative Producer. During two 2021 Pillow Labs, Stanley developed a Pillow-commissioned ensemble work by postmodern choreographer Jodi Melnick and a solo by choreographer Shamel Pitts. They will also perform an adaptation of Andrea Miller’s sky to hold, originally created for the New York City Ballet’s 2021 Fall Gala, and Talley Beatty’s renowned Mourner’s Bench, a solo of great significance to the Pillow, having been danced here by Beatty himself. Stanley and their collaborators returned to the Pillow Lab again in March this year, ahead of the Festival performances.
