Mission Statement:
Eryc Taylor’s work deals with a fierce necessity to attain a bold
physicality which strips away the movement to its essential state, having
a physicality, strength, energy and drama that carries its own.
Raw and brutally honest, the structures of the dance
deal with underlying inner impulses that reveal ones inner psyche.
Taylor has been mesmerized with creating his dances
on pointe and is fascinated with the way pointe enhances and magnifies
the beauty of his experimental works.
His mission is to find, explore and execute new points
of view and combine varied styles of dance on pointe. He is currently
working on a Capoeira inspired duet on pointe.
Always compelled and inspired by the beauty of the human
form in motion, Taylor tries to identify new ways of pushing the boundaries
of his work.
In recent years, his visionary dances have been enhanced
with the collaboration of longtime friend and composer, Conrad Kaneshiro
and costume designer Tonatiuh Otero. |
