Taylor’s dance on film is titled Behind the Mask. Her inspiration for this piece was based on the ability that humans have to mask mental illness. Taylor hopes that the audience will become aware that some people around them may be struggling with mental illness even if they don’t see it. People can be good at covering their unhappiness and putting on a show for others. Taylor says, “If you are a person who can relate, I want you to know that you are not alone.” Watch her dance film below.
