“Engrossing”
“Unlike many dance documentaries, “Paul Taylor: Creative Domain” doesn’t fetishize every aspect of the dancer’s day. It zeroes in on a mystery.
The mystery is how Taylor, one of the greatest modern-dance choreographers, uses a simple formula of people plus time to make a work of art that pulls you in like an undertow.
– Sarah Kaufman, The Washington Post
“A dance is not only motion, but emotion. This fascinating film reminds us how closely the two are linked.”
– Critic’s Pick by Diana Clarke, The Village Voice
“We see the hard work, of course, but also the practical solutions to practical problems, as Mr. Taylor moves bodies this way and that, giving simple commands. Through it all, Mr. Taylor’s creative mysteries remain intact; a master of the casual and the vernacular (a good way to learn about movement, he says, is to watch football halftime shows), he nonetheless approaches the mystical.”
by Rachel Saltz, The New York Times
Kate Geis and Robert Aberlin will attend the 2014 San Francisco Dance Film Festival to show Paul Taylor: Creative Domain at the Brava Theater, Saturday, November 8th at 5pm.
The film quickens memories in anyone who has ever danced professionally. “Yes,” we say to ourselves, “that’s how it felt, that’s how we coped; remember that kind of sweat?” For the uninitiated, the interplay of labor and inspiration may come as a surprise. A dance gets hammered out, made to fit, and polished to beauty like a shoe made by a master cobbler.
