Adam H. Weinert has enjoyed a multi-faceted Pillow relationship since 2003 when he first participated in the Contemporary Traditions program of The School at Jacob’s Pillow. Weinert’s interest in Ted Shawn intensified during a 2013 Research Fellowship in the Jacob’s Pillow Archives, and later encompassed the presentation of Shawn solos at the Museum of Modern Art and both The Tate Britain Museum and The Tate Modern Museum, eventually developing into MONUMENT. The solo seen here, performed by company member Davon Rainey, was part of the very first performance at Jacob’s Pillow, danced by Ted Shawn.
