I have worked with Linda Kent twice. In addition to being on staff at Julliard, she teaches Paul Taylor works. I would like to add that I think she is an expert teacher.
Joffrey, ABT, Oregon Ballet Theatre and other ballet companies have presented Paul Taylor works.
In conversation with me, Linda Kent made it clear that one cannot call a Paul Taylor work a ballet. Yet, ballet companies do Paul Taylor works.
Before Linda Kent set me straight on the matter, I was calling "Cloven Kingdom" and "Arden Court" ballets. So, again, what is real ballet?
