...PAUL TAYLOR, 38, is a tall, block-shouldered Tuned-in from Pittsburgh who spans the gap between classical and modern like a colossus. He had his fling at the far-out, once stood stark still onstage for four minutes (Dance Observer responded by running a review that consisted of four inches of blank space). But today he also has a bit of Mr. B. in his,bonnet. Aureole is a freshly pressed version of a washed-out, frilly "white ballet," in which his dancers interweave flurries of mincing steps with great swooping glides without a seam showing. In Orbs...

...Belgrade, ogled by passers-by who admire both the clothing without and the body within. The oglers are only half justified. The body is beautiful-as the film demonstrates later when it bares almost every splendid millimeter for inspection. But the dresses are frumpy and styleless; the huge, block-heeled shoes look like Minnie Mouse's discards. As with much Eastern European couture, what appears hip at home may seem antique elsewhere, and the Yugoslav wardrobe in this case is matched by some equally square film fashions...
