Paul Taylor: Creative Domain
Among the most acclaimed choreographers in American history, Paul Taylor has been reinventing the roles of music, movement and theme in dance for nearly 60 years. In that time he has offered only glimpses into his creative process. Creative Domain is a rare in-depth documentation of how he creates a single dance.
Through the lens of award-winning cinematographer Tom Hurwitz, we see Paul’s non-verbal communication with his dancers. Below the surface of this dance and the many works that came before, is Paul’s power of acute observation, revealing a side to his choreography that is strangely prophetic. The dominant voice is Paul’s, between the guarded and unguarded moments we see him with new eyes and new understanding.
Dancers from Opus Performing Arts will give a brief performance before the film on Saturday, October 10 at 4:00pm. There will be a second showing of the film on Sunday, October 18 at noon.
Tickets may be purchase at the Pickford box office or online at the Pickford website.
