by BWW News Desk - Nov 30, 2010


Northrop Dance at the University of Minnesota presents Paul Taylor Dance Company on Tue, Nov 30 at 7:30 pm at Northrop. Paul Taylor is the last living member of the pantheon that created modern dance. At 80, he is still acclaimed for the relevance and power of his current work, as well as his classics. His world-renowned company returns for a specially-selected program that spans his life's work. Cloven Kingdom (1976) reveals the primal beast lurking just below mankind's sophisticated veneer, while Brief Encounters (2010) tracks men and women converging at a secret trysting place in the dead of night to satisfy pure animal instincts.
