PAUL TAYLOR AND MERCE CUNNINGHAM

“One of these two men is ‘the world’s greatest living choreographer’. Or the other one is. They have both been called it, by rival camps. They are the twin faces of contemporary dance: the one experimental, abstract, visual; the other athletic, emotional, musical. The followers of dance divide fiercely on who is the master, with Taylor commanding delight from those who find Cunningham abstruse, and the Cunninghamites sometimes scorning Taylor for being too ‘accessible’.” – The Telegraph (London)
