Paul Taylor: Dancemaker

"It's A Must" - Janet Maslin, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Nominated for an Oscar, Dancemaker is a breathtaking journey into the world of pre-eminent choreographer Paul Taylor and his extraordinary creations.
From the fluid Aureole to the primal Cloven Kingdon and graceful Esplanade, Taylor has remained at the forefront of 20th century modern dance.


Offering a rare glimpse inside the creative collaboration between the master and his hardworking troupe, Dancemaker chronicles the evolution of the fiery, tango-derived Piazzola Caldera from its first tentaive steps through its triumphant New York City premiere.


Filled with magnificent archival footage from Taylor's early years as a featured dancer for the Matha Graham Dance Company, and inspired performances from his troupe, Dancemaker is a unique exploration of the mysteries of creative life, the obsession and talent of the dancers, and the mind of an artistic genius.
