Early life[edit]

Taymor was born inNewton,Massachusetts,the daughter of Elizabeth (née Bernstein), apolitical scienceprofessor and Democratic activist, and Melvin Lester Taymor, agynecologist.[2][3]Taymor's interest intheatretook root early in her life. By age ten, she had joined the Boston Children's Theatre and starred in a number of productions. Being the youngest member of theatre groups became common. By 13, she was taking trips to Boston by herself every weekend, where she discovered Julie Portman's Theatre Workshop. At the age of 15, her parents sent her to both Sri Lanka and India with theExperiment in International Living.[4]After graduating High School at 16, Taymor went to Paris to study withL'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.Her studies there exposed her tomime,which helped develop her physical sensibilities. While in Paris, Taymor worked with masks for the first time and immersed herself in film, especially the work ofFelliniandKurosawa.[4]

In 1970 Taymor was enrolled inOberlin CollegeinOhio.During her second year, she interned withJoseph Chaikin'sOpen Theatreand other companies in New York City. Hearing that directorHerbert Blauwas moving to Oberlin, she returned there and auditioned successfully, becoming, once again, the youngest member of a troupe. In 1973, Taymor attended a summer program of theAmerican Society for Eastern ArtsinSeattle.The instructors were masters of Indonesiantopengmasked dance-drama andwayang kulitshadow puppetry. This would prove to have a great effect on Taymor in later years. Taymor graduated from Oberlin College with a major in mythology and folklore and withPhi Beta Kappahonors in 1974. She spent a summer withBread and Puppet Theater.[5]

As a college senior, Taymor won a year longThomas J. Watson Fellowshipthat began after graduation. The Watson allowed her to travel to Japan and Indonesia which she continued independently from 1975 until 1979. In Indonesia, she developed a mask/dance company, Teatr Loh, consisting of Japanese, Balinese, Sundanese, French, German and American actors, musicians, dancers and puppeteers. The company toured throughout Indonesia with two original productions,Way of SnowandTirai,which were subsequently performed in the United States. She met her long-time collaborator,Elliot Goldenthal,in 1980.

In 1984, Taymor worked in collaboration withTheatre for a New Audienceon a 60-minute version ofA Midsummer Night's Dreampresented at The Public Theater.

She went on to direct three other productions at that theatre, includingThe Taming of the Shrew,Titus AndronicusandThe Green BirdbyCarlo Gozzi.She later adaptedTempestandTitusinto major motion pictures.
