The Taylor Foundation offers groups of 8 and more a discount of 25% on all but its $135 and $10 seats at New York City Center. Alumni, church and civic groups as well as college and high school students have come from all over the United States and Canada, and as far away as Sweden. Last March Boston University held its fifth alumni evening at PTDC, attended by 70 alumni. The Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University has hosted four evenings with PTDC since 2004, raising a total of more than $4,000. For the last two seasons, the Company has hosted fellows of the Harvard Center for Public Interest Careers, recent graduates who work at modest salaries at non-profit organizations in New York. Said longtime Taylor supporter Nick Beilenson, the Center’s Founder and New York Area Coordinator, “I think we've turned some young people on to dance.”
Last February, Linda Edgerly, Director of The Winthrop Group’s Information and Archival Services Division – which maintains the Taylor Archives – donated $1,000 to underwrite Taylor tickets for 85 students from Jacques d’Amboise’s National Dance Institute and their parents. Student Anjette Rostock wrote to the dancers: “I was transported to a magical place filled with a head-spinning and heart-pounding range of emotion and movement. I want to be able to train my body to make those amazing shapes... to fill my dancing with the same powerful emotions that you show in your every step.... Each piece was so different and brought me a clearer understanding of the power of dance. Watching you dance has deepened my passion for and commitment to this most amazing art.”
No students come more regularly than seniors in the dance curriculum of Mamaroneck High School, whose performing arts program was named by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund one of the ten best public school arts programs in the nation. Program head Martha Barylick feels fortunate to teach modern dance during what she terms “the Taylor Decades,” and brings students to see PTDC each year. She said, “There’s something about Taylor’s choreography and his dancers that communicates not, We are spectacular dancers and this is a magnificent dance, but rather These dances and this dancing are more worth doing than any other in the world and although we are consummate dancers, what we really do is live and breathe and serve the artwork – and you too can become the embodiment of these relentlessly touching events.”
