Julie Taymor has become an iconic figure for the avant-garde in contemporary theatre, opera, and film. She’s known for her hybridised theatrical style of cross-breeding different forms into one performance often incorporating puppetry and masks into her work. She doesn’t do kitchen sink drama, she stays away from naturalism but she wants her audience to be moved. She grasps the center of each form, its essence and discovers how it will work in its home context and then considers how it will resonate everywhere else. Her work is strongly rooted in human psychology. She makes connections between the piece itself, the performers, the meaning, and the significance it could have. When approaching a new project she prefers not knowing how things are supposed to be done or what cannot be done and instead immerses herself in research, makes a plan, and jumps in head first. She’s had a broad range of “training”; in mime, filmmaking, ritual and masked dance, method acting, experimental ensemble creation, and puppetry technique. She’s been greatly influenced by Balinese theatre having spent four years in Indonesia. Taymor doesn’t consider herself to be a “trained” director because she sees all of her experiences as experiences. She learned to make puppets through trial and error, she learned to make movies after going to the cinema in Paris everyday while apprenticing there, and she learned to be a director by living and growing as an artist. She doesn't create universality predominantly through the use of the “everyman” or by simplifying her themes, but instead builds upon those themes and gives examples of their many implications.Â
Background
Julie Taymor was born in Boston, Massachussets December 15 1952. The youngest child in her family. Her father was a gynecologist and her mother a political science teacher. Both were very passionate about politics and discussed their democratic position often at home. Taymor started performing in her backyard at 7. Her older sister would put on shows and Taymor would act and help design them making scenery and props. At ten she become more serious about theatre and joined the Boston Children’s Theatre where exercises like “being frightened with your toes” ignited your imagination. Taymor came from a predominantly white middle class upbringing but she was pleased to be exposed to a mixed racial and social population in the Boston Children’s Theatre, it triggered engagement with diverse cultures which has later been infused in nearly all her work. In high school she traveled to India and Sri Lanka. This was her first exposure to Asian performance. She found the theatre in India too detailed/busy but she was stunned by the richness and extremity of the street life. “She noted that just two months after her initial shock at seeing street beggars (at that time uncommon in America), the students were no longer quite so upset by it. This life lesson about how easily people can be anestheticized to the suffering of others ultimately proved an important insight for directing.”Â

After graduating high school at 16 Taymor went to Paris, France to study at L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq where she studied mime. It was here that she was first introduced to mask work and animating inanimate objects. While in Paris she went to the movies every day and was influenced by the styles of Kurosawa and Fellini.Â
In 1970 Taymor went to Oberlin College in Ohio studying mythology and folklore and later took a few anthropology courses in Columbia University. During this time she continued to study with theatre companies in the area including Herbert Blau’s theatre company. She was the youngest member involved with Blau’s theatre troupe. Blau was an experimental theatre director who worked with the avant-garde and followed Jerzy Grotowski’s model of ferociously rigorous training, Taymor found it “immensely grueling, both physically and mentally-and challenging.” The rehearsal process was always very private and very intense. It was Blau that introduced Taymor to the concept of the Ideograph and the extremes of experience; she invents fanciful or grotesque worlds with created actors.

Indonesia
Julie Taymor spent 4-5 years in Indonesia and it is there that she truly began to create theatre. She’s largely influenced by her time in Indonesia because it was a culture shock for her and she was able to experience a different kind of theatre and bring it into the western world. It’s in Indonesia that she had her first directorial experience. Taymor joined W.S. Rendra, a respected and controversial playwright, director, and novelist's theatre company; Begkel (“repair shop”) Theatre. Taymor acted as choreographer, and here she used her Lecoq training. Rendra encouraged Taymor to create work and felt that her talents were geared toward directing. She created her first work; a trilogy called Way of Snow it contained two main themes: cultural transition and madness. During her time she lived communally with theatre artists from around the world and created her theatre company Teatr Loh.

Taymor was greatly influenced by Indonesian theatre including practices seen in Bali. The three main types of performing arts are dance drama, gamelan (musical ensemble of 2-50 instruments), and shadow puppetry. The origin of performance was as a function for ritual, if not already part of a ritual. Main purpose is to please the deities and ancestral spirits. The performer strives to mesmerise both human and divine audiences. Balinese theatre consists of lavish costumes, and often darting eye movement. Costuming and makeup are a large part of performance and one would never perform without it. Especially makeup around the eyes as there is so much focus on the movement of the eyes. The Cundang is a dot between the eyebrows which represents the third eye, a symbol of strength and concentration. Headdresses and masks are the holiest part of costume and would often be blessed, as one’s head is considered the holiest part of the body.Â
