Artistic Directors Mandy Greenfield of Williamstown Theatre Festival, Kate Maguire of Berkshire Theatre Group Kate and Julianne Boyd of Barrington Stage Company; Alexandra Fuchs, chief operating officer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra; and Pamela Tatge, director of Jacob's Pillow Dance, joined 1Berkshire CEO Jonathan Butler for a virtual town hall on Friday. "I think that we as arts organizations are back with this kind of ferocity because we know we have a responsibility to make space for that, for artists, for audiences, for people who have to reconnect with what it means to be alive," she said. "This is a part of human health and well-being, we have to be back this summer, we have to continue to tear a path forward and we have to do it for as broad and diverse of a community of both artists and audiences as we can all push ourselves to do."

World-renowned dancers will return to the stage for live performances this summer at Jacob’s Pillow, which recently announced its full list of performers for the 2021 summer festival.
Due to the on-going worldwide pandemic, all of the performances will take place outside with reduced audience capacity. All of the performances will also be available for viewing online.
This is the first summer festival at Jacob’s Pillow to feature both onsite and online programming. Onsite events run June 30-August 29, with online streaming through September 23.
“It is essential that we find safe and inventive ways to return to dance, to bring people back together, and put artists back to work,” Jacob’s Pillow Executive & Artistic Director Pamela Tatge said in statement. “The 2021 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival will share the restorative and uplifting power of dance: in-person at our campus, in our surrounding communities, and through live and on-demand events online to reach audiences across the world. The works featured in Festival 2021 will delve into the multiple histories that exist in the land of Jacob’s Pillow; center the work of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists, providing platforms for their stories to be told and archived; examine our relationship to the environment and bring us into dialogue with our magnificent site; and highlight artists who are experimenting with innovative ways to integrate augmented and virtual reality into their performances.”
