Tayler Demeo

Originally from Vermont, Tayler attended The Boston Conservatory for Dance. She has been fortunate to grow her artistic practice at Bates Dance Festival since 2004, with Countertechnique since 2017 and with other modalities such as Graham, Release Technique, and Improvisation focused training. Based in New York City for over a decade as a choreographer, performer, and teacher. Tayler has had the pleasure to study with Janet Panetta, David Dorfman, Joy Davis, Michael Foley, Marianne Hraibi, Kathy Young, Chris Aiken, Jennifer Archibald, Katiti King and Anouk Van Dijk among others. She attended Gibney?s Professional Training Program for choreographic process, showing and performing in original works in the program?s initial year. With Gibney and Arts on Site in NYC as her local artistic community, more recently she has been focused on international travel to study, teach and perform. Currently working towards deepening her Countertechnique practice while obtaining another degree, she is working with Alexander technique and a mix of contemporary forms along with functional movement training for longevity. Tayler is always grateful to be a part of Lila Festival as it grows.
