This energetic process is evident to me in our own formation and relations as human beings. I marvel at the intensity that delivers nascency to form, with a focus so singular it can only be life force at play. The title of this dance comes from my fascination with a book from the 1950s called Zen in the Art of Archery, chronicling a man's pursuit of the venerable art of Japanese bow marksmanship. This archery practice centers around a simultaneous loosening and focusing of energy as a spiritual path toward accuracy and self-development. The book articulates a beautiful concept of forming while being formed, playing while being played, aiming while being aimed.

  • Juilliard Dance Choreographic Honors Edition 2019
    Juilliard Dance Choreographic Honors Edition 2019 Welcome to Juilliard Dance Choreographic Honors 2019! Thank you to all who are gathered here this weekend to support the many talented choreographers and dancers represented in this season’s Choreographic Honors performances. Over the course of eight workshops, our students presented works guided by their own artistic impulses. Admirably, the dancers found time in the wee hours of the night after full days of classes and rehearsals to commune, generate movement ideas, and further develop their artistic voices. The dances you will see were selected by faculty and represent just a fraction of the works made by our inventive and curious student body. I’d like to recognize all of the students who contributed to this year’s workshops, including our third-year students who served as technical crew. I am beyond proud of our dancers, who have immersed themselves in the art form. In turn, we have the honor of witnessing their growth and brilliance. Tonight, we not only celebrate the choreographic exploration of our current students, but pay homage to the life and legacy of one of our most prolific and beloved alumni, Paul Taylor. We are proud to present three excerpts from the Paul Taylor Dance Company repertory—Arden Court, Cloven Kingdom, and Esplanade— danced by the first-year class. Enjoy the performance. Alicia Graf Mack Director, Juilliard Dance Cover: Ian Sanford; cover and inside cover photos by Alexander Sargent The excerpts from Arden Court, Cloven Kingdom, and Esplanade are presented in honor of Paul Taylor, alumnus of the Juilliard Dance Division.
