DANCEMAKER Documentary

Paul Taylor has been hailed as “the world’s
greatest living choreographer,” having
created a stunning body of dance work
over the last forty years. When the
curtain opens on the Paul Taylor Dance
Company, audiences see a troupe of
dancers soaring through the works of this
formidable genius. But behind the scenes
lies a complex world of ambition,
emotion, creation and hard-nosed
decisions.
The film views the tension in an
organization that sees itself alternately as
an artistic tool and as an international
business. And finally, it gets to the core of
Taylor’s talent as he wrestles with the
making of a new dance that is the
centerpiece of his company’s season and
of the film.
DANCEMAKER is Matthe w Diamond’s feature film
debut.
