A New Dance Venue Rises on the Site of a Theater Fire at Jacob’s Pillow in the Berkshires | Architectural Record
![]()
The Berkshires campus of Jacob’s Pillow, the dance center founded in 1933, is picture-postcard beautiful. Thirty-six buildings, many of them pitched-roof rustic-farmhouse-style performance spaces, are spread across 220 acres of bucolic Massachusetts woodlands. It’s a near-total immersion in both dance and nature—a sanctuary or, at least, a respite from the always-on hurly-burly of contemporary life.
