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.

Included in the festival will be local, indigenous dancers of the Mashpee Wampanoag, Seneca, Cayuga, and Nipmuc nations on July 17. The dancers will come together to highlight the breadth of indigenous performance traditions within the Eastern Woodland region. This event is curated by Annawon Weeden of the Mashpee Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Pequot nations and Nipmuc elder Larry Spotted Crow Mann.

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.
