Background
Julie Taymor was born in Newton, Massachusetts on December 15th. (making her 55). Theatre was constantly in Julie's life from the age of seven she was drawing and staging shows of children's stories with her sister for her parents. Julie was often the youngest member of theatre groups and by time she was 16 she was winging her way to Paris to study under 'Jacque Lecoq' where she became 'exposed' to mime...
Julie went on to study, in Ohio, Japan and Indonesia studying puppetry and direction… this is some what different line of work from what her family were used to her mother being a teacher of politics and her father a gynecologist….
