PillowTalk: Liz Lerman with Suzannah Tamminen

Liz Lerman is a choreographer, performer, writer, teacher, speaker, and MacArthur Fellow. Join her and editor Suzanna Tamminen of Wesleyan University Press for this talk about Lerman’s new book "Shape and Momentum: An Insomniac's Guide for a World in Constant Motion." This choreographic manifesto for living in motion is part memoir, part creative toolkit, part philosophical inquiry. Written in a series of essays, the book weaves together personal anecdotes, creative theory, and movement-based wisdom. This talk took place on July 25, 2026 in Blake’s Barn at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Video by Nel Shelby Productions.
