TAYMOR IN RESIDENCE AT NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

February 7-9 Julie Taymor was hosted by the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts for residency at the North Carolina School for the Arts with the Schools of Dance, Drama and Filmmaking. During her residency, Taymor discussed her work with UNCSA students and reflected on her role as a leading figure in film and the creator of iconic theatrical productions – including the transference of her creative work from stage to film, film to stage and animation to theater, and commentary on women in leadership in the arts among other topics. A select number of her films were screened on campus prior to her visit to highlight the impact her work has made in all three forms during her prolific, 45 creative years in the performing arts.

Taymor’s visit parallels the restarting of The Julie Taymor World Theater Fellowship which was on hiatus during COVID.  For more information about how to apply and the upcoming deadline, go to www.tjtwtf.com and discover all of the details about these exploratory, year-long fellowships for emerging theater directors.
