Item Description
Here's your opportunity to see one of the world's great dance companies up close and personal. Four people will be able to observe a private Friday afternoon rehearsal at the company's NYC studios, as well as receive VIP tickets to the company's performance at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, MA on July 26, 2014. As an added bonus, you'll receive a copy of the company's 60th Anniversary souvenir book, autographed by Paul Taylor himself.
Choreographer Paul Taylor is the greatest living pioneer of America’s indigenous art of modern dance. At an age when most artists’ best work is behind them, Mr. Taylor continues to win public and critical acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance and power of his creations. As he has since his origins as a dance maker in 1954, he offers cogent observations on life’s complexities while tackling some of society’s thorniest issues. While he may propel his dancers through space for the sheer beauty of it, he more frequently uses them to illuminate such profound issues as war, piety, spirituality, sexuality, morality and mortality. If, as George Balanchine said, there are no mothers-in-law in ballet, there certainly are dysfunctional families, disillusioned idealists, imperfect religious leaders, angels and insects in Mr. Taylor’s dances. Laura Shapiro once wrote inNewsweek, “Short course in modern dance: in the beginning there was Martha Graham, who changed the face of an art form and discovered a new world. Then there was Merce Cunningham, who stripped away the externals and showed us the heart of movement. And then there was Paul Taylor, who let the sun shine in.”
