History of Lee Seniors Dancing at Jacob’s Pillow

History of Lee Seniors Dancing at Jacob’s Pillow

In 1985, 1986 and 1992 older community members from the Lee Senior Center worked with renowned multi-generational, multi-ability choreographer Liz Lerman to prepare for an Inside/Out performance called Still Crossing. In 1993 Lee Senior Center members danced in an off-site piece called HERE about the Housatonic River in partnership with the Housatonic River Initiative, a Lee-based nonprofit organization. Get to see exclusive videos of these seniors rehearsing, performing, and being interviewed and learn more about how these productions came together.

This is a free event that will be held at the Lee Council on Aging located at 21 Crossway Street in Lee. Lunch to follow.

Be sure to check out the "Jacob's Pillow in Lee, Mass." exhibit at the Lee Library during June 2026. The exhibit traces the long and often overlooked relationship between the internationally renowned dance hub Jacob’s Pillow, and the neighboring town of Lee from the early 1930s to today. The exhibit is made possible, in part, through a grant from the Lee Cultural Council, a local agency funded by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
