The National Dance Presenters Leadership Forum is a joint project of Dance/USA, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters and Jacob's Pillow Dance. Each year the Forum is held, the partners select participants to immerse themselves in dance at Jacob’s Pillow discussing the art of dance, examining curatorial issues, field-wide issues, participants’ own communities, and connecting with colleagues. Participants also attend performances at the international Festival, tour the Pillow’s Archives and National Historic Landmark grounds, observe dance classes, and enjoy the incomparable environment of the Pillow. The next Presenters Leadership Forum will be held in summer 2010.
