Merciful heavens, there are just too many reasons to love Jacob's Pillow. In the seven hours that Jason and I were there on Saturday we:
*snuggled into the roots of a massive oak tree and listened to Rachel Maddow and Suzanne Carbonneau ponder possibilites for integrating arts and public policy,
*poured over video footage of Pina Bausch and Merce Cunningham,
*shared stories with JR Glover and Thasia Giles on Anne Bluethenthal's 25th anniversary season performance of Pluto in Capricorn,
*bumped into d. Sabela Grimes and Raphael Xavier in the archives,
*spotted Doug Varone in the Pillow Pub (his company will be performing there this coming weekend),
*chatted with Rennie Harris (who sat two seats away from us in the Ted Shawn Theater),
*and were once again enthralled by Rennie Harris PureMovement's performance.
