Spirits of Chesterwood
is an intergenerational dance project created BY 6 local choreographers in the BERKSHIRE Pulse community.

Performancesat 4:00pm & 6:00pm.
Reception to follow after the 6:00pm performance.

The works are based on historic photographs of people, places, and captured moments on the Chesterwood grounds. Chesterwood’s curator shared with the choreographers historical photos and research on how the spaces were used and by whom. The resulting performance will celebrate the joy of dance and artistic collaboration between the dance community and a place of historic and natural significance in the Berkshires.
