The Taylor Tradition
Come join one of our amazing Summer Dance Intensives!
Whether investigating everyday movement with breathtaking beauty or reminding us that we are not as far removed from our prehistoric ancestors as we like to think, Paul Taylor has riveted audiences with matchless inventiveness and astonishing poignancy for nearly 60 years. He continues to be as prolific as ever, having recently completed his 146th work. Time hails him as “the reigning master of modern dance” while Vanity Fair calls him “the greatest choreographer in the world,” and the dance world regards him as a living legend.
Having created the masterful 3 Epitaphs in 1956, he captivated dance goers in 1962 with his virile grace in the landmark Aureole. After retiring as a performer in 1975 he devoted himself fully to choreography, and classics poured forth: Esplanade… Cloven Kingdom… Airs… Arden Court… Lost, Found and Lost… Last Look… Roses… Musical Offering… Company B… Piazzolla Caldera… Promethean Fire… Beloved Renegade… and dozens more.
