Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival

Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company went to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in July 2012 to perform Story/Time. I (Adam Smith, the company's Interactive Marketing Manager) grabbed some cameras and tagged along for the trip. Here is their social media documentary.

  1. Tuesday July 24, 2012

  2. Early in the afternoon we hopped in a couple rental vans, set the radio to the 80's Hits station, and set out for Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts.
  3. Heard from the back of the van, "I want a wizard's hat." "Yeah, I want a wizard's hat." 80 miles to Becket, MA.
  4. We arrived in the early evening and settled in for a bit before we fired up the grill. We cooked a lot on this trip.
  5. Wednesday July 25, 2012 - Performance #1

  6. After our first night, the dancers got to work. Wednesday consisted of a welcome from Ella Baff (Pillow Artistic and Executive Director), class led by Janet Wong, spacing/sequence rehearsal on stage, tech rehearsal with Bill, then the opening night performance.
  7. "Front, Back. Curly-Q! Curly-Q! And turn turn turn - and 11! and 12!" - Janet Wong conducting class before we go to the stage.
  8. Will be watching Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company tonight! Very excited for Story/Time #jacobspillow
  9. In a moment of break for the dancers and production staff, Bill read some of his stories aloud to prepare for the evening. I was able to capture it on camera.
  10. Seeing Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company tonight! Can't wait ...!!!

  12. After a very well-received opening night performance, we were back in the early afternoon on Thursday for a casual photoshoot with Christopher Duggan, Class and Notes, then Performance #2.
