Today's Guests: Director Kate Geis and executive producer Robert Aberlin, who capture the creation of Paul Taylor dances in the behind the scenes documentary film Paul Taylor: Creative Domain.

ROBERT ABERLIN podcast excerpt: “Getting Paul Taylor to agree to this documentary took me about four years. He would often say to me, ‘Who would ever be interested? Nobody will be interested in this! Why do you want to do this?'”

Key Interview Moments:

• 5:00 Fighting to get Paul Taylor’s buy-in to record the creation of a new dance from start to finish;
• 7:57 Taylor plots his dances in detailed notebooks, plotting out moves the way an NFL football coach does, right down to Xs and Os;
• 19:50 Sometimes even Taylor sees the absurdity in what he asks his dancers to do.
