Dance! Paul Taylor: Creative Domain is eye-opener! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Today's Guests: Director Kate Geis and executive producer Robert Aberlin, who capture the creation of Paul Taylor dances in the behind the scenes documentary film Paul Taylor: Creative Domain.

ROBERT ABERLIN podcast excerpt: “Getting Paul Taylor to agree to this documentary took me about four years. He would often say to me, ‘Who would ever be interested? Nobody will be interested in this! Why do you want to do this?'”

KATE GEIS podcast excerpt: “Dance is often nonverbal. There is a moment when the choir is seated on each other in a row. Paul, in his mind, had a sense of what it would look like. Once he actually had the dancers in front of him, doing it, he realized how funny it looked, so he started laughing. And then the dancers all started laughing. Paul said, ‘It’s unnatural.’ Even he can find the humor in those moments.”

Key Interview Moments:

• 5:00 Fighting to get Paul Taylor’s buy-in to record the creation of a new dance from start to finish;
• 7:57 Taylor plots his dances in detailed notebooks, plotting out moves the way an NFL football coach does, right down to Xs and Os;
• 19:50 Sometimes even Taylor sees the absurdity in what he asks his dancers to do.
