    Episode 36: Taylor Drury - Grounding, Wobbling, and Other Dance Practices

    Taylor Drury is a Canadian born dancer, choreographer, and sometimes line-drawing artist with WobbleWorks. She is currently a full time company member with the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. In this conversation we talk all about her path to becoming a dancer, which was full of the unexpected, as well as the period of doubting and questioning that often comes after graduation. We speak about conscious versus unconscious influences, the practice of improvisation and how it can be built into a full piece, and the life of being in a company as a dancer as opposed to working freelance. She also talks about her drawing practice, titled WobbleWorks, which is a series of one line drawings that she has expanded out into workshops and commissions.

We also talk about artistic validation, her thoughts on art and activism, as well as exploring identity as an artist, especially coming from a multicultural background.

We get into his Broadway debut in The Inheritance and being a part of a 7-hour long production, as well as the nature of theater itself as a non-stop cycle of life and loss. Dylan also reflects on the strangeness of traditional theater simply not existing in this moment with the pandemic, and he talks a lot about why he loves camp.
