Taylor Thursday: “Cloven Kingdom” 🎭

First performed in 1976, Paul Taylor’s “Cloven Kingdom” takes a sharp, and sometimes surreal, look at what happens when the polished surface of civilized society begins to reveal its underbelly.

Set to music by Arcangelo Corelli, Henry Cowell, and Malloy Miller, “Cloven Kingdom” brings together Baroque elegance and driving, percussive energy. Dressed in tailcoats, gowns, and striking mirrored headpieces, the dancers begin in a world of refinement that gradually gives way to something stranger and more be***al. 🎶

There’s humor throughout, but also an edge, as Taylor plays with the contrast between polished appearances and the impulses hiding just beneath the surface.

Last performed by the Company in New York City in 2022, “Cloven Kingdom” returns this November as part of Paul Taylor Dance Company’s 2026 New York Season. ✨

📅 November 14, 17 & 21

Taylor Thursday: “Airs” ✨

First performed in 1978, Paul Taylor’s “Airs” has captivated audiences for nearly five decades, and returns this November as part of Paul Taylor Dance Company’s 2026 New York Season. 💫

Set to music by G.F. Handel, “Airs” is one of Taylor’s celebrated works inspired by Baroque music. Across nine movements, the choreography moves between buoyancy and strength, intimacy and expansiveness, with the music shaping the rhythm and architecture of the dance. 🎶

There’s no single storyline to follow. Instead, “Airs” draws you in through musicality, shifting partnerships, and the way Taylor lets movement create its own sense of emotion and atmosphere.

Last performed by the Company in New York City at The Joyce Theater in 2024, “Airs” returns to the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center this fall. ✨

This is the first in our Taylor Thursday series, where we’ll be revisiting works featured in this year’s New York Season. If you’ve seen “Airs” — or any of these works in past seasons — we’d love to hear about your experience in the comments. 💭

📅 See “Airs” November 6 & 21

Today we celebrate the birthday of our founder, Paul Taylor. 🎊❤️
The Jacob's Pillow Festival always had a special place for Paul. He first danced there in 1954 and the Paul Taylor Dance Company made its debut in 1964. The Company proceeded to perform in 16 Festivals during his lifetime. What a thrill it was to return to the Festival this year to continue his legacy in a program of all Taylor works❣💗💖
