He has been called a genius, a legend, and a cultural icon. Time calls him “the reigning master of modern dance,” and the San Francisco Examiner declares him “without question the greatest living American choreographer.” But Paul Taylor considers himself, above all else, a reporter, whose job is to observe us and record his impressions. Whether investing everyday movement with breathtaking beauty or reminding us that we are not as removed from our prehistoric ancestors as we like to think, he rivets us with astonishing inventiveness, poignancy and wit. As prolific as ever after 49 years, he recently completed his 119th work! Celebrated for uncommon musicality, he has set dances to Ragtime and reggae, tango and Tin Pan Alley, time recordings and loon calls; turned elevator and novelty tunes into high art; and found particularly cooperative collaborators in J.S. Bach and his Baroque brethren. Established in 1954, the Paul Taylor Dance Company is one of the world's most sought-after dance troupes. A not-to-be-missed evening of dance from a true genius of the dance world!
