“Ferocity can come from any group of people. You just have to have a common goal, spirit, and determination because you’ll achieve what you need to achieve. What people don’t realize is that that is instilled in every artist—but when you open the door to the rehearsal room and it’s like, ‘Black track?’ That dings it down a little bit because then you have the real-world realization that ‘I’m the fucking quota.’”
We talk with Taylor N. Daniels about telling stories through dance, navigating national tours and non-equity life, and his approach to his artistry that’ll have you asking “who’s that guy?”
