Dance maker extraordinaire and father of contemporary dance Jiri Kylian has had a huge impact on the dance community and the world. His works can be seen in all major dance companies across the globe while his artistic home is with the Netherlands Dance Theatre where he was once director. Tracing back all of the choreographers/artists that he has influenced you can easily see that without Kylian you would not have Forsythe or King. No Kylian or Forsythe means half of the choreographers working in concert dance today’s work would look vastly different and not in a bad way. Kylian has opened up the doors of possibility for dancers and dance makers with his usage of classical vocab fused with modern/pedestrian movements along with his sense of high theatre.
I’m gonna stop rambling so you can watch for yourself.
