The Paul Taylor Dance Company (PTDC) returns to the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center from November 1 to November 13, 2022. Billed as “Taylor: A New Era,” the Season will include World Premieres by newly-appointed Resident Choreographer Lauren Lovette and Taylor Commissioned Choreographer Amy Hall Garner, and a one-night- only event showcasing the collaboration between Paul Taylor and painter Alex Katz.
The Season will also feature nine Taylor masterworks; the return of Taylor Commissioned Choreographer Larry Keigwin’s Rush Hour; and Kurt Jooss’s The Green Table, one of the most iconic and celebrated anti-war dances of all time, which premiered 90 years ago. It will also expand on the Company’s long-time partnership with Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL) by featuring the orchestra performing musical masterworks by George Gershwin, Sergei Prokofiev and Philip Glass on five “Moving Music” programs, in addition to performing dance scores on every program.
Tickets for all performances from November 2 through November 13 start at just $15. Every seat in the house on Opening Night, November 1, is just $10; tickets go on sale Monday, October 17 at noon. Tickets can be purchased online at www.boxoffice.dance, at the Koch Box Office at 63rd Street and Columbus Avenue, or by calling 212.496.0600.
“I’m thrilled to bring our Company back to Lincoln Center after three long COVID years,” said Artistic Director Michael Novak. “Audiences will discover some wonderful new Company members performing many of Paul Taylor’s greatest dances and new Taylor Company Commissions, in addition to a unique new collaboration with Orchestra of St. Luke’s. My goal is to give audiences new ways to experience the Company by exploring the relationship between dance and live music and reminding them of the power of our vast repertory and the importance of new work.”
The Company’s 2022 Taylor repertoire includes Arden Court (1981), Company B (1991), Diggity (1978), Esplanade (1975), Gossamer Gallants (2011), Polaris (1976), Scudorama (1963), Sunset (1983), and Syzygy (1987).
