Paul Taylor Dance Company

Few companies can claim a repertory as deep and influential as Paul Taylor Dance Company, returning to Jacob’s Pillow this summer for the first time in seven years to perform a mixed program in the Ted Shawn Theatre.

Paul Taylor Dance Company is one of the world’s leading dance organizations, based in New York City and with vast international reach. The company was founded in 1954 by cultural icon Paul Taylor, who molded it into a preeminent performing ensemble, driven by a belief that dance is able to convey complex truths about the human experience. Of the 170 dances that exist within the company’s repertory (147 choreographed by Taylor), many are hailed as some of the greatest dances of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Since its first European tour in 1960, the company has performed in more than 600 cities in 66 countries. Under the artistic direction of Michael Novak, together with the best dancers, choreographers, educators, and creatives, the company continues to transform. The company hosts its annual season at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.

One of the most exciting, innovative, and delightful dance companies.
