He was called the “naughty boy of dance” by none other than the grand dame of modern dance herself, Martha Graham. The Paul Taylor Dance Company comes to Philly with five works, the latest,Changes (2008), a Philadelphia premiere. The naughty boy is tricky though: there are two programs, A and B, so you’ll need to head over to the Annenberg twice to catch it all. A includes Changes, Esplanade (1975), and Lines of Loss (2007); B has Philadelphia premiere De Suenos (2007), Changes, and Promethean Fire (2002). Taylor’s dances run the gamut of overwhelming to trivial, so every heavy moment is likely to be counterbalanced with, if not whimsy, at least a little less heavy.
