Performer: Paul Taylor Dance Company

An interesting triple bill with some rarely seen Paul Taylor works carefully reconstructed. Esplanade still sends the audience home filled with joy.

An intriguing reconstruction of an early work by Paul Taylor created on Pina Bausch and Dan Wagoner and a classic of barbed satire made a powerful triple bill by PTDC.

The season has had enthusiastic crowds, Taylor classics were well-danced and PTDC will always have Esplanade to make audiences happy.

Different music, different moods, different choreographers, but both quintessentially American. We compare and contrast two dance works which bring out the American dream of community, happiness and freedom.
