Paul Taylor and the Legacy of American Modern Dance

The recent passing of Paul Taylor at age eight-eight marks the end of an era of male modern dance pioneers. Taylor had been making work for the better part of six decades, along the way fostering a huge, enthusiastic following and creating a large, memorable corps of company alumni. With the instrumental work of Bettie de Jong as rehearsal director (and in recent years, longest-tenured dancer and Taylor standard-bearer Michael Trusnovec as associate rehearsal director), even the earliest repertory has looked crisp and vibrant generations later.
