The School at Jacob’s Pillow will welcome the inaugural cohort of its Dance as Social Transformation: Kinetic Visioning summer program, running July 20–August 2. The two-week program, led by d. Sabela Grimes and Michele Byrd-McPhee, centers street, club, and social dance lineages in its exploration of movement as a way to engage with and reshape the world. Unlike the Pillow’s intensives for contemporary ballet, contemporary, and musical theater, the program does not have a formal performance component, focusing instead on process and exploration.
