Ann Hutchinson Guest's connections to Jacob's Pillow flourished from 1941 until her death more than 80 years later, and her remarkable dancing life is now explored in a celebratory new podcast.

She was a pioneer in notating dances, and a new playlist highlights some of the many works that have been preserved through a specialized practice known as Labanotation—a system to analyze and record movement in written form. For most of her 103 years, Ann Hutchinson Guest centered her life around dance: performing, teaching, notating, staging, writing, and lecturing throughout the world. She recounted some of her fondest memories as a Jacob's Pillow student, performer, and teacher in a 2016 PillowTalk that also touches on her Broadway career and displays her characteristic wit and wisdom.

Jacob's Pillow Podcast and Playlist honors our AHG: "A dance pioneer whose power was the pen."
