Paul Taylor Dance Company
About this event
A groundbreaking force in American modern dance, the Paul Taylor Dance Company performs at the Detroit Opera House.
What to Expect
- 1.You’ll be watching a rigorously choreographed modern dance program, so keep your eyes on the dancers’ technique, timing, and the way motifs recur and evolve with the lighting and space.
- 2.The Detroit Opera House has an elevated, seated atmosphere—most attendees dress neatly and conversation is hushed during the performance, so plan for a more formal vibe.
- 3.There’s usually an intermission, so use that time to stretch, refill a drink, or trade thoughts about what you just saw with your group.
- 4.Plan your arrival to account for parking and security checks around Broadway; give yourself extra time if you’re unfamiliar with the area or the venue.
- 5.If you’re new to Paul Taylor or modern dance, skim the program notes or pay attention to how the company uses ensemble shifts and music to tell each piece; clap at the end of each work to show appreciation.
