Led by long-time transformative dance artists and mentors, Dianne McIntyre and Risa Steinberg, the program is fully process-oriented, with no expectations of an end-product or public showing. Each day features extensive studio time for Fellows to advance their choreographic ideas through research and experimentation. Fellows invite two dancers to join them onsite to ensure that work developed at the Pillow can continue in their communities if desired.

For eight choreographers who have been creating professional work for a minimum of two years. Choreographers from varied traditions, who work in the United States and internationally, and consider themselves early to mid-career choreographers, with or without academic training, are welcomed to apply. Selected Fellows are generally 22-35 years of age, though those who more recently began choreographing, will be considered. Fellows and their dancers will need to meet Jacob’s Pillow COVID-compliant protocols, which will be announced in 2023 and subject to change pending new developments.

DEADLINE: February 27, 2023
