Join us for a Jacob’s Pillow Watch Party at Pittsfield Public Library – free and open to all! This community-centered event will channel the spirit and energy of Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival performances through a curated film screening, light refreshments, and facilitated conversations.

  • A full-length screening of a current performance of Sekou McMiller & Friends, filmed live at the Festival
  • A brief introductory welcome with context about the company
  • Optional movement warm-up or community-building activity before the film

In his Ted Shawn Theatre debut, dancer and choreographer Sekou McMiller will present the world premiere of Urban Love Suite, a joy-filled rhythmical journey through African American, Afro Latino/a/e and West African music and dance traditions. With a musical flair and explosive energy, Sekou McMiller is at the forefront of Afro Latin Dance performance and education. This piece celebrates the cultural love affair between Black and Brown peoples, through encounters in cityscapes including Harlem, the Bronx, Dakar, São Paulo, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
