The TL Collective (“To Love”), was founded by Micaela Taylor in 2016. Trailblazing in the city of Los Angeles, she is the recipient of the inaugural Springboard EMERGE Choreographic Award and was named one of Dance Magazine‘s 25 to Watch 2019 and was on its May 2020 cover. The Los Angeles-based dance company is known for its fusion of contemporary dance and theatrical hip-hop, including elements of groove and acrobatics accompanied by high-level athleticism. The company has toured to venues including New York City Center’s Fall for Dance and the Wallis Annenberg, and was scheduled to perform at the American Dance Platform at the Joyce Theater in New York City. Alongside the launch of The TL Collective, Taylor has been commissioned to choreograph and teach by BODYTRAFFIC, Rambert2 (London), Martha Graham Dance Company, Springboard Danse Montreal, B12 Festival Berlin, Carlos Acosta’s Acosta Danza and more.

In the five years since Taylor formed The TL Collective the group has become one of the most celebrated in the United States, and their appearances across the country have drawn critical praise.

At the Weis Center, they will perform “Drift,” which explores an individual’s evolving relationship to self; “talk,” which emphasizes the power in physical communication, and a solo by Taylor.
