DYLIN TAYLOR

Bio

Dylin Taylor (she/her) is a director, visual artist, and arts administrator based in NYC. She sees her artistic process as a form of excavation that invites both collaborators and audiences to unearth the hidden parts of themselves out to play. As a Chinese adoptee raised by gay parents, she is drawn to narratives that make us question the roles we were born into, and the ones we choose to play.

Directing credits include Stuy or Die (Lighthouse Ladies), How Do I Tell Her? (Åbo Svenska Teater), Clown Lung (Kitchen Sink Theater Co.), Tourist Trap (Ars Nova/Samuel French OOB/Cellunova 新戲胞劇團), The Marie Show: or How To Get a Wh*te Boyfriend (NYU Tisch), The Half Lives of Digital Stars (Personal Pizza Party/Elif Collective), Little Heaven: TMP (NYU Tisch), Agoraphobic/Claustrophobic (NYU Tisch) and the short film Dark Mornings (46th Asian American International Film Festival). She has also developed and shown work at Culturehub@La Mama, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Theaterlab, The Chain Theatre, Onboard XR Theatre Festival, Playwrights Horizons Theater School, along with a plethora of random basements and warehouses in Brooklyn.

As an arts administrator, Dylin is also interested in learning how non-profit theater organizations are adapting to serve the needs of artists, audiences, and administrators in today’s climate. She has worked at various organizations including New York Theatre Workshop, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Park Avenue Armory.

Beyond art, Dylin has a fondness for navigating without maps, eating brothy soups, and drawing bald androgynous people.
