Paul Taylor and Esplanade — 12 Comments

  1. Thanks for the video. Paul Taylor is great. “Company B” is one of my favorites. Have you seen Twyla Tharp’s new ballet/dance on broadway? It’s to a bunch of Frank Sinatra songs. People I know who’ve seen it loved it.

  2. Never apologize for posting dance videos. Dance wouldn’t be part of my day-to-day life at all if not for the glimpses into the dancing world that you occasionally provide. (For that matter, neither would jello.) I also enjoy your occasional insights on how it feels to dance, such as the last paragraph of today’s post. Your dance posts are always interesting and enlightening, and sometimes inspiring — so don’t stop!

  3. “”But they can only give the barest idea of the power of the thing itself in its live, three-dimensional, living and breathing onstage manifestation.””

    I find basketball that way. Boring to watch on tv, but very exciting choreographed like performance when watching the best do it live.

  4. Indeed never feel the need to apologize for posting these videos here. Dance is a portion of and obviously a passion of your life. As if the slippers in your title photo block (or what ever the correct blog term for it is) don’t announce it to the world.

    It doesn’t really do a thing for me, I’ll click through 1 in 10 perhaps. But your spot here is unique because of the graciousness you provide. This is a spot of serenity and civil discourse quite rare which I value. I feel the difference is you.

    When you share with us your passion for dance it’s a moment of intimacy and friendship. It makes you happy and you share that happiness. Never apologize. A little bit of culture can’t hurt me a bit.

  5. What fun! It’s interesting to see how he choreographs his dancers to move in counterpoint, just like the wonderful Bach he has them dancing to. It’s thrilling, actually.

    Incidentally, I third Amused Observer and rickl.

    Don’t fail to keep these lovely things coming!

  6. Tatyana: I was only in NY for two days, both of them loaded with family doings. Maybe next time I’ll stay longer and have some free time.

  7. Just saw the new Twyla Tharp Frank Sintra music show. “Come Fly Away”. WOW!!!! All dance lovers should check it out ASAP! John Selya is unbelievably great. They all are.
