CI to Eye with Monica Holt Pamela Tatge, Executive and Artistic Director of Jacob's Pillow
A long history is a gift for any cultural institution, but it also invites a constant balancing act. How do you honor tradition while continuing to evolve for the future?
Pamela Tatge has spent the past decade exploring that question as Executive and Artistic Director of Jacob's Pillow, one of the world's most renowned dance institutions. Under her leadership, the Pillow has expanded from a seasonal festival into a year-round cultural hub, embraced a collaborative curatorial model, and explored how new technologies can broaden how dance is experienced and shared.
As Pamela marks her tenth year leading the Pillow, she reflects on guiding the celebrated institution through moments of upheaval; the growing role of technology in the arts; and the leadership lessons she's gained in her tenure.
