The staging of Paul Taylor’s “Images” marks the first time the work has been performed outside the Taylor Company. Staged for CityDance by Patrick Corbin, it is a rare and elegant look inside the spirit and soul of a master. The work will be performed at the Lansburgh Theatre – Harman Center for the Arts during CityDance’s 2009 U.S. season finale, Catalyst.
