Paul Taylor Dance Company

Paul Taylor in Aureole.

June 14–19, 2022
175 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

For the first time, the Paul Taylor Dance Company is performing at the Joyce. This robust company usually appears at City Center or Lincoln Center, so it’s a distinct difference to see it in the more intimate Joyce space. Artistic director Michael Novak has put together a program of early works that date from 1957 to 1962—included is the beloved Aureole (1962), which presented Taylor as a modern Adam in the garden. The engagement features a world premiere and a New York premiere as well. —Laura Jacobs
