Paul Taylor
Hailed by The New York Times as “one
of the most exciting, innovative, and
delightful dance companies in the entire
world,” the Paul Taylor Dance Company
will perform at The University of Texas,
February 2 and 3. Two varied programs will
be presented at 8 pm at the Performing Arts
Center Concert Hall, 23rd and East Cam-
pus Drive.
Paul Taylor’s consistent turnout of ver-
satilem physically-demanding, witty and
elegant dances has earned him status as the
leading modern choreographer of our time.
“One of the few authentic geniuses in the
world of dance,” Ballet News calls him.
His dancers, too, are praised for their
precision and energy, “a daredevil modern
troupe,” says The Chicago Sun-Times.
New York Magazine applauds them as
“one of the most intelligent, stylish and
physically magnificent dance troupes we
have.”
Taylor’s choreographic wizardry will be
represented by some of his finest works
chosen for the Austin programs. Seven of

Great White
The Pulitzer Prize winning drama
The Great White Hope by Howard
Sackler is currently in production at
Capitol City Playhouse. Director
Rodney Rincon and a cast of 36 have
begun rehearsals for the drama which
opens February 6th.
Based on the life of Texas-born Jack
Johnson, The Great White Hope
centers around his career as the first
black Heavyweight Champion of the
World. This poignant drama deals
with the problems the boxer faces after
winning the title along with exploring
the wages of a successful black man
and his white lover in the early 1900s. —
Sackler’s language in dealing with evils
of Racism and the struggle towards
Black individualism is powerful. As
winner of Broadway’s Triple Crown in
1969, The Great White Hope continues
to be forceful in facing today’s issues.
Director Rodney Rincon is well
known from his many stage ap-
pearances in town. Winner of the B.
Iden Payne award for best actor in a
drama (as Matt in CCP’s production
of Talley’s Folly), Mr. Roncon is also
talented as a director and teacher. His
past work experience includes involve-
ment-with such prestigious companies
as Plays For Living in Houston, The
New York Shakespeare Festival Public
Theatre, and The University of Texas
Performing Arts Center.
Playing the leading role is Julius
Tennon, nominated for an ACOT
award as best featured actor in a drama
for his performance in Edmond Ann
Williamson, most recently
remembered for her performance in
Tom White’s new play, Stud Silo, will
be portraying Jack’s lover, Ellie
Bachman. Jason Lee is playing Goldie,
the trainer. He was nominated for best
featured actor in The Trial of Juan
Beltran.
