Item Description
One pair of tickets to Paul Taylor Dance Company along with a "Meet and Greet" at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 8pm.
Company B: In a seminal piece of Americana, Paul Taylor recalls the turbulent 1940s through the hit songs of the Andrews Sisters. Although the songs depict a nation surging with high spirits, millions of men were bidding farewell to wives or girlfriends and many would never return from battle. The dance focuses on such poignant dualities.
Eventide: “The American spirit soars when Taylor’s dances and dancers meet, but rarely has it reached the sublime heights of this piece. It is a paean to remembered love, with couple after loving couple looking back even as they embrace an unknown future… " - Octavio Roca, San Francisco Chronicle
Esplanade: An esplanade is an outdoor place to walk; in 1975 Paul Taylor, inspired by the sight of a girl running to catch a bus, created a masterwork based on pedestrian movement. If contemporaries Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg could use ordinary “found objects” like Coke bottles and American flags in their art, Taylor would use such “found movements” as standing, walking, running, sliding and falling. The first of five sections that are set to two Bach violin concertos introduces a team of eight dancers brimming with Taylor’s signature youthful exuberance.
The Mahaiwe Theater in downtown Great Barrington, MA opened in September 1905 and is one of the oldest surviving theaters in the country. The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center was formed in December 2002. The theater has been newly restored, with great attention to historical detail. The Mahaiwe is now a unique year-round performing arts center presenting music, dance, theater, opera, and classic films in the southern Berkshires.
