Paul Taylor Dance Company: Open Rehearsal

You are invited to observe the iconic American modern dance powerhouse Paul Taylor Dance Company as they prepare for their evening performance! 

This free, exclusive event will begin with a welcome from Artistic Director Michael Novak, after which you’ll watch dancers, musicians, staff and crew at work during the first hour of their technical rehearsal. The rehearsal begins with a new work by choreographer Pam Tanowitz, “Messengers, Maidens and the End of Something Else,” danced to Franz Schubert’s haunting “Death and the Maiden,” with sets and costumes by visual artist Sarah Crowner.

If you would like to spend the afternoon on campus- between the open rehearsal and evening performance- consider attending the free opening festival of “Merciless” at the Weisman Art Museum, which runs until 5:00 pm that day.

Please note: Project Success will not be hosting the afternoon event at the Weisman, but you are welcome to attend independently!
