Lincoln Center

Dear Friends,

In this time of expansion for the Taylor Company, I have a clear vision to broaden, innovate, and transform our artistic and educational impact at Lincoln Center. It starts, of course, with brilliant and emotive dance.

This season features two World Premieres by Resident Choreographer Lauren Lovette, a World Premiere by Robert Battle, ten unforgettable dances by founder Paul Taylor, two special tributes to dance icon Loïe Fuller choreographed by Jody Sperling, plus the return of Lovette’s Echo, Ulysses Dove’s Vespers, and Larry Keigwin’s Rush Hour.

Every performance features live music by the Orchestra of St. Luke’s under the direction of David LaMarche and conductor Tara Simoncic. Back by popular demand, Grammy-winning trio Time for Three performs Nov. 5-6 and Nov. 12-15.

I hope you will be thrilled, amazed, and awed by this company of dancers and this outstanding season of works. I look forward to seeing you in the theater.

I look forward to seeing you,

Michael Novak
Artistic Director
