Hey there, I’m Alexandra Taylor. I’m an actor combatant, teaching artist, and fight director working and living in NYC.
“My whole thing is, I've got to be as good, as courageous as what’s written on the page.”
-Viola Davis
Alex is from Charlotte, North Carolina, where she spent most of her time playing tennis & lacrosse while hanging out with the theatre kids. After watching several of their shows, she realized that she wanted to be up there with them, and auditioned for her first show, Fiddler on the Roof. She played Motel’s mother Shaindel, had two lines, and has never looked back.
After graduating from Barnard College with a BA in Theatre, she began getting cast in roles that required stage combat, and her childhood black belt got her by at first. She eventually realized she needed a formal stage combat education with the society of american fight directors, and began training with Neutral chaos combat in New York. Seven years later, alex is an associate instructor with that same combat studio and has worked teaching combat at Lee Strasberg Institute, new york film academy, and regional workshops across the country. she hopes to become an SAFD-certified teacher and loves to combine her combat training with her acting work.
Much love,
Alex
