Paul Taylor’s name is synonymous with modern choreography in America. Considered a leading choreographer of the 20th century, Taylor is among the last active members of the second group of America’s dance artistes. His radical choreographies were centered on romantic, sexual and comical themes. He is known as the man who launched a number of dancing talents. Some of his famous choreographies struck gold and were hits with the audience and at times, sent audiences running amok to the exits.

His wide repertoire of choreographies includes Esplanade, Aureole,  Epitaphs, Scudorama and Speaking in Tongues to name a few. He has also had the privilege of working with a number of artistes including Gene Moore, John Rawlings, Santo Loquasto, Thomas Skelton, Jasper Johns and Matthew Diamond.

He has won many honors and awards such as the Emmy Award and the National Medal of Arts. Despite attracting a fair amount of negative criticism for his works, he remained one of the most unflinching and the bravest choreographers who exploited a wide range of themes on stage, and is to date, considered an American dance icon.
