Laura Ingoglia: Dancing at Jacob's Pillow

Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, the country’s only National Historic Landmark for dance, welcomes tens of thousands of visitors to experience dance each summer in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. Laura Ingoglia spent two pivotal summers at the Pillow as a young dancer on scholarship in the 1960s, and she now makes it possible for talented young people to follow in her footsteps. In this presentation, she shares fascinating film excerpts and speaks about her connections to this special place. Laura has spoken at Jacob’s Pillow donor events and luncheons and recently gave a presentation about the Pillow at the Lasalle Dance Lecture Series in Woods Hole, MA. A resident of North Caldwell, Laura spent her career in the arts. She was an editor of Worrall Community Newspapers’ Arts & Entertainment supplement and has been associated with The Arts Council of the Essex Area, Nicholas Rodriguez and Dance Compass, the New Jersey Chamber Music Society, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
