Creating 147 original works over the course of his career, Paul Taylor is remembered for dances that capture life’s joys and tackle some of society’s most complex issues. Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival 2019 will be Paul Taylor Dance Company’s 18th Pillow appearance with special initiatives to mark the passing of their founder.

As part of a commemorative legacy tour, the company will perform an exclusively Taylor program, including one of Taylor’s earliest masterpieces Aureole, set to George Frideric Handel, as an ode to their 1964 Pillow debut; Concertiana, Taylor’s last work choreographed in 2018; and his masterpiece, Promethean Fire.
