Doris Duke Theatre
Becket, MA

Two of today’s smartest dancemakers are brought together in this exclusive engagement. Bessie Award-winner Jodi Melnick’s Fanfare is a sophisticated dance of rhythm and gesture, set against a kaleidoscope of light and sculpture designed by visual artist Burt Barr. David Neumann and his company, advanced beginner group, then perform works, with signature wry humor and “startling creativity” (The Village Voice).  The evening culminates in a world premiere duet commissioned by Jacob’s Pillow and performed by Melnick and Neumann, two truly original artists. Performances: Wednesday, August 10 – Saturday, August 13, 8:15pm; Saturday, August 13 & Sunday, August 14, 2:15pm.
