Winter Intensive
The Taylor Tradition
Whether investing everyday movement with breathtaking beauty or reminding us that we are not as far removed from our prehistoric ancestors as we like to think, Paul Taylor has riveted audiences with matchless inventiveness and astonishing poignancy more than 50 years. He continues to be as prolific as ever, having recently completed his 131st work. Time hails him as "the reigning master of modern dance" and the dance world regards him as a living legend.
Having created the masterful 3 Epitaphs in 1956, he captivated dance goers in 1962 with his virile grace in the landmark Aureole. After retiring as a performer in 1975 he devoted himself fully to choreography, and classics poured forth: Esplanade. Cloven Kingdom. Airs. Arden Court. Lost, Found and Lost. Last Look. Roses. Musical Offering. Company B. Piazzolla Caldera. Promethean Fire. Banquet of Vultures. Beloved Renegade... and dozens more.
The Taylor Intensives and You
The Taylor School is the premier training ground for modern dance technique and the best place on earth to study Taylor style and repertoire. The Taylor Intensives have achieved distinction by virtue of outstanding faculty members -- distinguished Taylor alumni -- and the exceptional personal attention given to each student. Six current Taylor dancers trained at the Taylor Intensives prior to joining the company. With Taylor dances now in the repertoire of many renowned companies around the world in addition to those of the Paul Taylor Dance Company and Taylor 2, it is vital for dancers seeking a place in today's competitive dance world to learn Taylor style and repertoire. The Intensive provides that opportunity. Come learn from the masters.
"I learned a great amount of valuable information that will benefit me and stay with me as a dancer and arts lover for the rest of my life! Thank you!" -- former intensive student
