| by LincolnCenterFestival06 Grendel Transcendence of the Great Big Bad Academy Award–winning composer Elliot Goldenthal and Tony Award–winning director Julie Taymor collaborate on Grendel, a ground–breaking opera premiere inspired by the Beowulf legend, as told from the monster’s point of view. Using film, puppetry, masks, and Goldenthal’s highly emotional score, Taymor creates an enthralling visual landscape and presents a Grendel that is a quintessentially modern anti-hero. With language ranging from medieval to modern, Grendel serves as a gripping theatrical allegory of the human struggle. New York Premiere Based on John Gardner’s novel Grendel and the epic poem Beowulf. Composer Elliot Goldenthal Co-Libretto Julie Taymor and J. D.

| by Marianne S. Hornor Frida is a great film! I wrote a female-driven script four years ago that is set in turn of the 20th century New Orleans. Would Julie have any suggestions as to whom I can send a summary/treatment of the script for their advice and input? Thank you! Marianne S. Hornor 512-231-0000 Comment on this... |

| by Vicki Boston As I was watching FRIDA, I thought Julie should do a movie about Edith Piaf. The SPARROW/DOVE had the same type of life. Both women had artistic talent:One a painter, the other a singer. Comment on this... |

| by Ruth-Claire Weintraub Julie Taymor, Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook - those are the people whose theatres I'd be happy to be asked to sweep for the rest of my life. Do you think there's any chance she'd like to direct a film production of Monique Wittig's Les Guerrillaires and a stage production of an all-female cast of Waiting for Godot? Comment on this... |

by Syeda Nashmin ...Julie Taymor is a great and successful woman. She's one of my most worshipped idols. My dream has always been to do something in performing arts, as she did. Reading about her makes me think that if she can do it then so can I. Keep it up Julie!Comment on this... |
