Paul Taylor has been hailed as the world’s greatest living choreographer, having created a stunning body of dance work over the last 40 years. Matthew Diamond’s 1998 film tells the tale of Taylor and his extraordinary company. Cutting from stage to backstage to rehearsal with brilliant camerawork, the film looks at the rise of Taylor from solitary child to star dancer to master choreographer. Interviews with current and past members of the company give the audience glimpses of the pain, joy, obsession and love that motivate the artists – and the complex world of ambition, emotion, creation, and hard-nosed decisions that go into maintaining a world-class company. Sponsored by First in Fitness. Community Partner: Contemporary Fitness and Dance Studio. Post-film event: Cinematographer Tom Hurwitz will discuss the making of the film. No rating, 95 minutes. Film website
