The Paul Taylor Dance Company will perform at Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

10:38AM / Tuesday, May 05, 2009

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass – The Paul Taylor Dance Company will perform in Great Barrington at The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 23 at 8pm, the third appearance by this world-renowned dance troupe and their second annual kick-off to the Berkshires’ summer art season. All Tickets ($60 Golden Circle / $50 / $45 Members / $20 Limited Balcony) are available through The Mahaiwe Box Office and online: http://www.mahaiwe.org.

Paul Taylor is known as one of the pioneers of modern dance, and his choreography is noted for its physicality, grace and cultural relevance. The program will include three dances from the Taylor repertoire. Funny Papers is a hilarious romp with a score that includes such novelty tunes as "Popeye the Sailor Man" and "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On The Bedpost Overnight)." Scudorama, a progenitor of Taylor’s later explorations of mankind’s darker impulses, is a suspenseful anticipation of Armageddon. Beloved Renegade, which is being given its Massachusetts Premiere, was inspired by the life of Walt Whitman. It is set to Poulenc's choral masterpiece, "Gloria." The New York Times called this “a work of philosophic as well as dramatic power...one of the great achievements of Mr. Taylor's long career.”

“The dances we’re performing at the Mahaiwe showcase a variety of styles and themes,” said John Tomlinson, General Manager of the Paul Taylor Dance Company. “These dances -- classics alongside some of Mr. Taylor's most recent work -- are not only enjoyable but culturally meaningful as well.”

The Taylor Company most recently appeared at the Mahaiwe last May, giving the Company premiere of Changes. “There's great enthusiasm in Berkshire County for the talents of this legendary choreographer and his dancers,” commented the Mahaiwe’s Executive Director, Beryl Jolly. “We’re thrilled about the Mahaiwe’s ongoing relationship with the Paul Taylor Dance Company and look forward to an excellent program to launch our summer arts season.”
