Introducing ETD on 42 & Our Inaugural Resident, Megan Castro!
Eryc Taylor Dance proudly launches ETD on 42nd, our newest initiative designed to give choreographers the time, space, and support to create daring new work in our Midtown NYC home. Each selected artist will spend one transformative week in our 10x10 studio, working closely with the ETD team to develop a solo, monologue, or project-in-progress.
From July 28 to July 31, Megan dives into a new solo blending AI-generated monologues, character study, and experimental movement.

With donations and support from our patrons, ETD has recruited and hired a talented team, engaged freelance collaborators, and a devoted board who have turned the company’s lacks into gains and are actively working to increase ETD and ETD Outreach’s programs and opportunities.
These funds supported the development of new work, such as The Knowing (2025, Hearts on Fire (2025), Factory|Refractory (2022), the annual New Choreographer Grant, and covered salaries and administrative costs for up to 16 contractors and employees per month.
The 2025-2026 NCG Application is now open.
The application closes on September 15, 2025.
