Lindsay Live Interview with Paul Taylor
Last Thursday, I met up with Paul Taylor to discuss his life as a modern dance choreographer as well as his company's upcoming season which starts February 28 at City Center .
As you can imagine, I was more than slightly nervous! Although I read his autobiography and studied his works extensively in college, Taylor's existence still seemed somewhat illusive to me. It was more than not being able to entirely grasp the eccentricity of his choreography; simply put, it was everything about him. In class discussions at Barnard, he often took on a larger-than-life persona, someone capable of solving all of the world's problems through the exploration of dance. A kind of dance deity. I mean, he was Paul Taylor, after all. Never did I anticipate meeting this mystery movement maker, let alone speaking with him one-on-one at his incredible Soho studio for an on-camera interview.
