Paul Taylor Creative Domain (2014)

Among the most acclaimed choreographers in American history Paul Taylor has been reinventing the roles of music movement and theme in dance for nearly 60 years In that time he has offered only glimpses into his creative process Creative Domain is a rare indepth documentation of how he creates a single dance Through the lens of awardwinning cinematographer Tom Hurwitz we see Pauls nonverbal communication with his dancers Below the surface of this dance and the many works that came before is Pauls power of acute observation revealing a side to his choreography that is strangely prophetic The dominant voice is Pauls between the guarded and unguarded moments we see him with new eyes and new understanding
