Paul Taylor’s genius lies in celebrating the simple moves of life, gestures and stances from the street, everyday moves that in themselves are full of grace and beauty. The New York Times wrote, “There is no other choreographer today whose imaginative range looks so large or so multilayered.” Regarded as the world’s greatest living choreographer, Taylor and his company have been advancing modern dance for 55 years. His bold inventiveness, his dancers' disciplined lyricism and the all-American brio of his choreography inspired the San Francisco Chronicle to cheer, “The American spirit soars whenever Taylor’s dancers dance.”
