Company B —

In a seminal piece of Americana, Paul Taylor’s Company B recalls a turbulent era through the hit songs of the Andrews Sisters. Although the songs depict a nation surging with high spirits, millions of men were bidding farewell to wives or girlfriends and many would never return from battle. The dance focuses on these bittersweet contradictions.
