Studio 4 - Jacob's Pillow - Beckett, Massachusetts

Dancers must take class every day to stay in form, so the summer, when performance seasons are slack and rehearsal studios in the city are hot and humid, poses a problem. Ted Shawn and his company of dancers built Jacob's Pillow in the Berkshires as a summer retreat, to take class and prepare the next season's work.

It is now a summer dance festival and school. The place has been honored by the presence of our greatest dancers. Studio 4 is the Pillow's first large studio, and is used for class, rehearsals, and small performances.
