BRIAN TAYLOR: A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE AND ART

August 18, 2012 marked the 20^th anniversary of dancer Brian Taylor’s death of AIDS-related illnesses. To commemorate the occasion, LPV presented an evening of film screenings, showing Carl George’s “6 Feet, Dancers That I Know and Love” and “The Blue Dresses,” a video featuring dance choreographed by Brian Taylor and performed by Peter Cramer, Jack Waters, and Brian Taylor himself from The Jane West Hotel in 1983. These are followed by a discursive celebration of Taylor enacted via video clips, slideshows, and live actions.
