THE Doc. Film PAUL TAYLOR CREATIVE DOMAIN-A Privileged Peek at Paul's Mystique

Paul Taylor (b. Amer 1930) is a world reknown choreography & Kennedy Honor recipient.  He's not showing any signs of slowing down. The doc. CREATIVE DOMAIN ('14) is a very clear look into the mysterious, magical process of choreographing a modern dance.  Taylor's narration is the driving force that gives us a behind the scenes look into a dancer's life & the creative process.  It's especially exciting to glimpse the very private and elusive life of Mr. Taylor.  There persists an artistic ambiguity to Taylor's works. "Dance equates to poetry, leaving room between the lines,"(PT.)  This film will win the hearts of dance lovers. Mr. Taylor's candor and kindness with his collaborators was admirable.  This film may not have a broad appeal.  It has great appeal for dance fan.  For those hoping for  a backstage drama of divas, stay home & watch housewives.  This intelligent film captures the process from inception to performance of the dance THREE DUBIOUS MEMORIES. The composer, Peter Taussig, was brought in to see the piece late in the process.  Taussig was delighted and deeply moved.  Viewing the rehearsals was fascinating and grueling (without the omnipresent pain felt by dancers.)  After the 1st live performance, the dancers were anxious to dance the piece again.  I felt the arduous repetitiveness.  The performance became anti-climatic. (Hence, I'm in the audience, not on stage.)  Needless, Mr. Taylor aspirations "to lift the audience to the miraculous in human nature," are deeply appreciated.
