Currently based in Tokyo, Japan until 2025: Jasmin Taylor, née Williams, is an anointed multidisciplinary artist, storyteller and problem solver. She is a native Chicagoan who has trained, worked, and lived intra and internationally. Jasmin has studied under Dance Theater of Harlem, Dance Italia and Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company. She has performed at the Harris Theater under the direction of Jess Mcleod as a part of Chicago Voices with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Goodman Theater, the Museum of Contemporary Art, in the Netflix series “Soundtrack”; and in Memoria with the Alvin Ailey Company. Taylor composed, produced, curated, and choreographed Trust Coming Home in Jan 2023, a weekender for the Lookout Series at Steppenwolf Theater Company.
