Paul Taylor studied dance at Juilliard and assembled his first company of dancers in 1954. He performed in the 1950's with the Martha Graham Dance Company and the New York City Ballet, while also choreographing his own works. A choreographer as concerned with subject matter as he was with form, many of Taylor's pieces and movements are pointedly
about
something. While he may propel his dancers through space for the sheer beauty of it, he has frequently used them to illuminate such profound issues as war, piety, spirituality, sexuality, morality and mortality. His creative work lives on in the Paul Taylor Dance Company and his project Paul Taylor American Modern Dance, which highlights other American choreographers.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
