A 24-Decade History of Popular Music

2016
Grant or Program
National Theater Project Creation & Touring Grant

Equal parts bedazzled shaman, community organizer, searing social critic and Elizabethan fool, Taylor Mac has created internationally award-winning performance events that at once provoke and embrace his diverse audience for more than 18 years. A 24-Decade History of Popular Music promises to be his most ambitious project to date — a durational performance art work in which Taylor Mac, his Nature’s Darlings ensemble, and audience together create a subjective history of America through the last 240 years of popular music.
