Exclusive Screening: A M.A.D.D. Mix Tape @ Jacobs Pillow

Exclusive Screening: A M.A.D.D. Mix Tape At Jacobs Pillow

In the Summer of 2024, We had a unique opportunity to not only bring signature work to a new audience, but also to expose our professional company, largely Black and Brown young people, to a performance opportunity at the prestigious Jacob's Pillow in Beckett, Massachusetts. We were invited to the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, making this an extraordinary opportunity to feature Chicago-based talent.

"A M.A.D.D. Mixtape” is a showcase of African Diasporic lineage and the rhythmic connections of Tap, Chicago Footwork and African Dance. Some of Hip-hop and R&B's top hits provide the musical backdrop as DJ D9-3 spins live on stage. This Jacob’s Pillow premiere takes the party including guest performers Creation Chicago Footwork, Imania Detry, and Naomi Kinslow from the club to the stage; Merging and celebrating Black entertainment across multiple eras.

Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Nine weeks of unforgettable performances, day and night, in the historic Ted Shawn Theatre, reimagined Doris Duke Theatre, and on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage. Plus, special events, parties, workshops, exhibits, talks, pop-up performances in Berkshire County, and more.
