More of How Paul Taylor Began...

Why do I care?

“You have to take a lot of risks.” 
     -- Paul Taylor

Paul Taylor is one choreographer of many talents and is always exploring new horizons in the dance world.  I am very inspired by his versatility he displays throughout his work, never feeling the constriction to one idea or choreographic style.  Taylor explores all different elements of the creation process of new dance works, different music, movement, theme, and costumes.  Some choreographers tend to remain in a familiar place with music, movement style, or location, but not Paul Taylor.  He explores new ideas with every new dance and is not afraid of a challenge.  This is a place I hope to one day be in as a dancer or a choreographer.  I want to achieve the same versatility Paul Taylor has achieved for himself as a famous and influential figure in the dance world.  I want to take risks… a lot of risks.
