BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Masterpieces of the 20th Century that have earned a place at the world’s leading performance venue
Extraordinary works by today’s preeminent choreographers
New creations by the most compelling voices of the next generation
Premieres and acclaimed dances from the ever-growing repertoire of Paul Taylor, the last living member of the pantheon that established American modern dance, performed by the Paul Taylor Dance Company.
In 2015, along with 17 of his classics and two premieres performed by the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Mr. Taylor presented two modern dances that represent the best of American Modern Dance in both the distant and recent past. Doris Humphrey’s influential work from the 1930s, Passacaglia, was performed by the venerable Limón Dance Company. And Shen Wei Dance Arts performed Rite of Spring, Shen Wei’s brilliant take on the legendary Stravinsky score. Orchestra of St. Luke’s, conducted by Mr. Taylor’s long-time collaborator, Donald York. In 2016 the Taylor Company will perform a dance by Martha Graham for the first time — Diversion of Angels from 1948 — and guest performers from Dayton Contemporary Dance Company will perform Donald McKayle’s 1959 masterpiece, Rainbow ‘Round My Shoulder.
In March 2016 at Lincoln Center, the first two works to emerge from Taylor Company Commissions will have their world premieres. These are Larry Keigwin’s Rush Hour and Doug Elkins’s The Weight of Smoke, both of which feature all 16 Taylor dancers. These works fulfill Mr. Taylor’s goal of commissioning the best choreographers of the next generation to work with his Company. Lila York will create a work on the Taylor Company for the 2017 Season.
