It’s a treat to see the Paul Taylor Dance Company perform within the close range of the Joyce Theater. (The company typically holds court at the much larger Lincoln Center.) Also rare is the chance to see seven vintage Taylor works over two nights, the earliest from 1964, and most recent, 1988. Curated by artistic director Michael Novak, “Extreme Taylor” is a mini dance history lesson on Paul Taylor’s wide tonal range—and a unique look at how his classic style is carried by the generation of dancers who succeed him.
