Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance featuring Paul Taylor Dance Company is world-renowned. In 1993, Taylor established the Taylor 2 company, of six dancers, to ensure his works could be seen by audiences all over the world, unhindered by economic or technical limitations. Mary B. Martin School of the Arts at East Tennessee State University will present Taylor 2 on Thursday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. in ETSU’s Martha Street Culp Auditorium. Taylor looked back to the 1954 origins of the Paul Taylor Dance Company for the structure of his new company: six professionals with a particular gift for his style who perform his work throughout the world, as well as teach and provide community outreach. “Taylor 2 is wonderfully intimate,” says The Berkshire Eagle. “Watching only six dancers perform Taylor works clearly reveals both structure and movement for an eye-opening appreciation of the master’s approach.” For tickets or information, visit www.etsu.edu/martin or call 423-439-8587.
