AMERICAN DANCE FESTIVAL: Paul Taylor Dance Company

The Paul Taylor Dance Company returns to ADF this summer, presenting three masterpieces from its repertory. Arden Court, a dance set to the baroque music of William Boyce and a nod to Shakespeare’s As You Like It, was an instant success after its premiere in 1981. Private Domain is the name of a mysterious dance that premiered in 1969 and was last performed at ADF in 1978. Mercuric Tidings, with music by Schubert, is one of the purest of Paul Taylor’s dance works, with thirteen dancers in pink costumes flashing across the stage in Taylor’s signature style.
