Whenever I enter a library for the first time I feel a combination of awe and comfortable familiarity. Every library whether big or small, fancy or plain, old or new makes me happy. I could never pick a favorite library. HOWEVER, the dance library and archive at Jacob's Pillow thrilled me in a special way because it combined 2 of my favorite things in the world. When I got home, I made a donation to JP as a thank-you.
I knew a bit about Ruth St. Denis after studying up when the Crescent Dancers were invited to dance at Community Day in 2004 but I didn't know much about Ted Shawn. On the tour, I learned that I was not giving Ted Shawn the credit he deserved for the establishment of Jacob's Pillow. Sorry Ted!
The photographs were amazing.
