Performance
Marilyn Boyle Taylor has always integrated performance into her work. In her twenties, Marilyn was part of a theatre troupe and toured and performed in plays. During this time, she continued to write poetry and songs. Over time, her work became increasingly interdisciplinary, merging visual art, sound, spoken word and poetry, with the dramatic.
…she enjoys the sophisticated word-games for the multiplicity of meanings that they can give rise to, but she is also concerned with investigating the uses of words as abstract sounds, elongating them into tones and melodies in a reversal of the common jazz traition in which a player might try to fashion his instrumental phrases into vocalized sounds. ______________Alex Varty, Georgia Strait
