volcanohunter Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If anyone is interested in attending the current Paul Taylor season at Lincoln Center, a 25% discount on tickets is available with the code LIN25. I gather this is unrelated to the discounts on multi-ticket packages already available. http://davidhkochtheater.com/Season-Tickets/15-16-Season/PAUL-TAYLOR-S-AMERICAN-MODERN-DANCE Link to comment
rkoretzky Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 My wish: to see Michael Trusnovec dance Apollo. Link to comment
sandik Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That would be astonishing, but you know, I'd be curious to see what Taylor would make of that score and story. Link to comment
rkoretzky Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Do you mean a new work? I didn't even think of that. My fantasy would be to have him guest with nycb. Not bloody likely I know.....but I can dream, can't I? (Thank you Company B). Link to comment
cargill Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I remember reading that Balanchine had wanted Paul Taylor do dance Apollo, so the idea isn't farfetched at all!. I think Trusnovec could dance anything and make it look profound, but talk about being born to live in Parnassus! Link to comment
mimsyb Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 That would be astonishing, but you know, I'd be curious to see what Taylor would make of that score and story. Oh, I agree totally! Not sure Taylor has it in him at this stage of his choreographic career to do a whole new work, but as to Michael guesting with NYCB, wow! That would be incredible! How does one put a bee in Peter Martin's bonnet about this? Or, conceivably, this could be something Damian Woetzel could put on at his Festival. Crossovers are common there. Link to comment

In the open air at Vail. Now, how to make it happen? Link to comment
Kathleen O'Connell Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'd like to see Trusnovec revive the section of Episodes that Balanchine choreographed for Paul Taylor. (Variations Op. 30). Link to comment

sandik Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Could we just ask for all of the above? Link to comment
mimsyb Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Don't know others' opinions, but for me Trusnovec is one of the finest male dancers out there, in any genre. That he's had such a long sustained career with Paul Taylor is stunning. Strong technician, extraordinary partner, an actor who can do comedy as well as signature roles such as seen in "Beloved Renegade" (to name just one). Not just a brilliant soloist, but also a strong ensemble dancer. Along with Gomes at ABT I can't think of any other male dancer I would prefer to watch in any production. Simply a standout. I would pay money to see Michael and Marcello read the phone book! Link to comment
lmspear Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 How do we clone Michael and Marcelo???? Link to comment
abatt Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've gone to a few PT shows this season, and it seems like Trusnovec is cutting back on his performance schedule. A lot of roles that used to be his sole domain are now shared with other men in the company. Not sure what his age is, but it appears that time may be catching up to him. I wonder how many more years he plans to dance. Link to comment
sandik Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It may not just be a question of his skill level and age, but a good insurance move to pass that information on to the next generation. I'm also wondering what kind of internal choices are being made as the company starts to perform a wider repertory. Link to comment

I wonder how many more years he plans to dance. And what I've also noticed, both last year and this season, is that he sometimes will perform more as an ensemble dancer, giving his more usual solo work over to another dancer. I'm wondering if he wants to learn all the other roles within a piece, perhaps in preparation of his one day taking over for Bettie De Jong or even for Mr. Taylor himself. He is already listed as the Associate Rehearsal Director. Link to comment
