Gossamer Gallants

Music by Bedřich Smetana
Using movement inspired by insects, Gossamer Gallants offers a comedic view of mating rituals, in which the female of the species is often the stronger, predatory partner.  "Taylor's bugs are dead funny.  What makes this preposterous jape so satisfying is the dance vocabulary Taylor has invented for it.... It's a keeper." -- Robert Gottlieb, New York Observer
