International choreographer Taylor Gordon presents the second season of "UNPACKED: a dance adventure" August 2025 in NYC and on tour to New Hampshire. Taylor is raising money to cover rehearsal expenses, pay collaborating artists & dancers, and expand the show in anticipation of a 2026 performance in a Manhattan theater to commemorate the 10th anniversary of her brother's suicide.

"UNPACKED: a dance adventure" is about the journey, not the destination. Rooted in balletic jazz, this vibrant show navigates travel, grief, friendship, and fun, celebrating the people we carry with us who make every step worthwhile. Taylor's brother was an Army soldier who took his own life in 2016. She aims to share his story in a way that celebrates life and inspires others to keep living.​

Taylor is an international dancer, creator, and educator based in NYC for the last 20 years. Taylor's performance credits include some of the dance world's biggest stages, including Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, The Kennedy Center, Carnegie, Hall, Jacob's Pillow, and international tours. Recent credits include Dance Lab NY's Broadway Choreographer Intensive, choreographing for Princeton University, Dixon Place, Queens Outdoor Dance Festival, Women in Motion, Uptown Rising, and upcoming summer performances for T2 Dance Company, Nacre Dance, and Chutzpah Dance. She assisted several Broadway choreographers as a Show Supervisor for RWS Global and recently danced in pre-production for NY City Center Encores!

"UNPACKED" premiered in August 2024 in NYC with 30 international performers in the cast. Taylor is passionate about giving performance opportunities to emerging artists and collaborating with live musicians. The show will be performed again August 19, 2025 at Waterside Plaza NYC and on tour in NH at Theater in the Wood August 22, and LILA Dance Festival August 23.

Taylor is seeking $6,000 to cover:

$1,000: NYC rehearsal studio space at subsidized rates
$1,000: Tour travel expenses
$1,000: Production expenses
$3,000: Dancer/artist payments

Any support is much appreciated as we work towards our 2025 goal of $6,000 and our 2026 production goal of an additional $20,000 towards venue rental and production expenses. Tax-deductible donations can be made through Fractured Atlas with attention: Taylor Gordon Choreography, as Taylor is a fiscally sponsored artist.
