‘Reflective’ dance to close out Jacob’s Pillow season

The summer of outdoor dance performances at Jacob’s Pillow ends for the season with an appearance by the innovative ballet company, Dance Theatre of Harlem. This is the first time the groundbreaking company has been to the Pillow since 2019. There is much to celebrate. It’s the 55th anniversary of the Company and would have been the 90th birthday of Arthur Mitchell, the company’s founder.

New works are on the program, to be mixed with old favorites from the Company’s repertoire. The program includes Robert Garland’s “Higher Ground” (set to music by Stevie Wonder), Robert Bondara’s “Take Me With You” (set to music by Radiohead), George Balanchine’s “Allegro Brillante” (set to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky), and William Forsythe’s “Blake Works IV (The Barre Project),” set to music by James Blake. Their appearance begins Wednesday, August 21 through Sunday, August 25.

We caught up with company dancer Micah Bullard, who will be performing during Dance Theatre of Harlem’s run. It’s his fourth season with the company. He’s never been to the Pillow, but in an interview, he said he took online classes offered by the Pillow during the pandemic and got to see a little of the beauty of the area.

dance theatre of harlem

Jacob’s Pillow, 358 George Carter Road, Becket Aug. 21-25

He says the venue in which dancers perform affect them “a lot more than audiences would expect.” Outdoor venues inspire him. “I get very reflective. I place my character in that environment.” He described that if he’s dancing with a forest behind him, for instance, and his character is running across the stage, he thinks of his character as running through the forest.

Bullard has also noticed that working outside “makes me dance more full out,” which he explains as striving to fill the larger space that nature affords in which to perform. He extends through his limbs and attempts to fit with the expansiveness of the natural world.

Bullard notes that Dance Theatre of Harlem’s founder, Arthur Mitchell’s “mantra” was that the company’s work and dancers “represent something greater than ourselves. Every time we do a movement it’s about representing a vision of the Company,” which Bullard says he fully realizes every time he is in front of an audience.

The Company performs a wide

range of repertory, but with new works, Bullard says he approaches them with an open mind and says that it usually isn’t until a new work’s premiere, when he’s in front of an audience, that it feels to him that a work has been transformed into a Dance Theatre of Harlem piece.

Along with the main event, the Pillow is presenting several onenight-only performances on their outdoor stage. On Wednesday, August 21, Christopher Unpezverde Núñez, a visually-impaired choreographer makes his debut with works entitled, “Yo Obsolete” and “The Circle, or Prophetic Dreamt.”

On Thursday, August 22, South Chicago Dance Theatre blends classical and contemporary styles. On Friday, August 23, DaEun Jung, a choreographer and dancer based in Los Angeles, will perform NORRI, a work inspired by Korean folk dance performed to an electronic score.

On Saturday, August 24, the festival concludes with a performance by Princess Lockerooo & The Fabulous Waack Dancers performing “The Big Show,” a work that journeys through the evolution of waacking alongside jazz, disco, soul, R&B, pop music and the blues.

For the one-night-only performances, ticket buyers may choose what they pay.

Ellen Spear can be reached at espear@ berkshireeagle.com or 413-496-6227.

The Berkshire Eagle

In its ninth season, Berkshire Opera Festival will present Charles Gounod’s 1859 Mephistophelian tour-de-force “Faust,” which chronicles its title character’s deal with the devil for youth and love.

Tenor Duke Kim stars in the title role. He won the Met’s prestigious National Council auditions in 2021 and will make his debut there this season as Tamino in “The Magic Flute.” Soprano Raquel González, who recently sang at BOF’s annual gala, will play Marguerite, fresh off her own Met run in “Florencia en el Amazonas.”

Bass-baritone Justin Hopkins as Méphistophélès and baritone Jarrett Porter as Marguerite’s brother, Valentin, have performed in Europe of late, and both have sung at Glimmerglass in Cooperstown, N.Y. Porter is also an Opera Saratoga alumnus.

Tenor Kyle Dunn, singing Wagner, also has Saratoga experience, most recently in its world premiere of “mad scramble for crumbs” by inti figgis-vizueta. Mezzo-soprano Abbegael Greene, as Marthe Schwerlein, sang in BOF’s family concert in May and is a Bard College alumna.

The trouser role of Siébel, a boy harboring a youthful crush on Marguerite, will see a familiar face in mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce, who starred as Bertarido in Hudson Hall’s “Rodelinda” last year, and alongside superstar BOF alumnus Jonathan Tetelman in “La Rondine” at the Met.
