Founded in the 1930s by visionary dance pioneer Ted Shawn on a farm in the Berkshires, today the Pillow is an idyllic mecca for artists and audiences from around the world, a place where dance in all its forms - from ballet to jazz to contemporary -- is studied, created, performed and celebrated.
Like Wim Wenders's Pina, Never Stand Still immerses us in the lives of extraordinary artists and the power of dance.
