The Paul Taylor Dance Company, now in its 53rd year, is one of the world's most exquisite ensembles. Dancemaker Paul Taylor first presented his choreography with five other dancers and himself in Manhattan on May 30, 1954. That modest performance marked the beginning of a half-century of unrivaled creativity. In the decades to come, Mr. Taylor became a cultural icon -- indeed, a living legend and one of history's most celebrated artists. His two dance companies (Taylor 2 was created in 1993) travel the globe many times over, bringing his ever-burgeoning repertoire to theaters and venues of every size and description in cultural capitals, on college campuses and in rural communities -- and often to places modern dance has never been before.
