Paper details

This first video, DANCEMAKER, looks at the work of modern (concert) dance choreographer Paul Taylor
and his dancers as they travel to India and prepare new work for their annual season in New York City. The

to be.
Your assignment is to write a 2-3 page descriptive commentary on the film, just as you would write a book

Paul Taylor Dance Company poster advertising the choreographer’s own weirdly funny re-imagining of
Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Remember the basic guidelines of journalism: Who, what, where, why, when
and how‼Having studied dance all semester you should be able to enliven this basic yet dry journalistic
outline with your specific understanding of dance as an art form.
