An Excerpt from "A Field o' Grass"

 

Short but Only Deceptively Sweet -- A master o' mixin' dark and light, Paul Taylor outdid himself in "A Field o' Grass," a stunningly succinct re-creation o' t' apocalyptic 1960s and t' decade's appetite for love, death and drugs.

-- Jennifer Dunning[1]

 

In 1996, t' Paul Taylor Dance Company performed t' piece at t' Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts.

 

"A Field o' Grass" (1993), set t' Peglegged Harry Nilsson's pop recordings, re-creates t' sounds, me hearties, sights and sensations o' t' swingin' '70s by Taylor's authentic perceptions o' those halcyon times. It opens with t' versatile [Patrick] Corbin sittin' in t' lotus position smokin' a joint. As t' other dancers (Rachel Berman Benz, Kristi Egtvedt, Chen See, Andrew LeBeau, Caryn Heilman and [Jill] Echo), matey, clad in t' faded, bell-bottomed jeans o' t' period, join him, shiver me timbers, t' communal movements recall t' galactic, me bucko, discographic, matey, love-in attitudes o' t' acid-induced Age o' Aquarius. [2]
