Taylor Drury​
​
Taylor was born in Calgary, Alberta in 1992. She discovered her love for dance from a young age and after growing up in the competitive dance scene in Canada, she began her professional studies, first at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, and eventually at The Juilliard School. Following her formal studies, she began her career as a performer in the cast of Punchdrunk’s award winning immersive production Sleep No More in New York City, under the direction of Maxine Doyle and Isadora Wolfe. During this time she also worked as a freelance dancer and choreographer, working with Alan Lucien Oyen, Ryan Heffington, Benoit Swan and HEWMAN collective while continuing to choreograph and present her own work. Drury moved to Germany in 2018 to pursue new opportunities overseas. After a few months exploring the freelance scene in Berlin, she was offered a position with Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich where she spent one season. In 2020, Taylor was invited to join the company of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. She is now in her 5th season working with the troupe, and has performed in more than 10 different pieces by Pina Bausch across dozens of tours, including the role originally danced by Pina in Café Müller.
