Paul Taylor Dance Company

Extolled as "a marvel"? and "the center of American modern dance" (New York Times), the iconic Paul Taylor produces pieces consistently regarded as masterpieces. His prodigious output includes 137 works over the course of six decades, with choreography that runs the gamut ”lyrical, dark, ironic, silly, nostalgic and outright funny" but always a journey orchestrated by genius. This engagement sees the return of a Taylor classic, Mercuric Tidings (1982), as well as the Philadelphia premieres of A Field of Grass (1993), a foray into the hip culture of the 60s and Gossamer Gallants (2011), a humorous work based on a company of insects where females rule.
