 by David Gere. The sixty-year "autobiography" of Mumaw as told to Jane Sherman details the days of dancing with Ted Shawn's Men Dancers and the making of the Jacob's Pillow dance festival Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, summer dance concert series held annually near Lee, Mass., in the Berkshires. The site, originally an 18th-century farm, was purchased by the American modern dancer Ted Shawn in 1930, and three years later it became the home of his Men  and school. The second part of the book describes fourteen dances of the time.
