Julie Taymor and Selina Cartmell

Rolex Mentor and Protégée in Theatre, 2006 - 2007

Julie Taymor, famous for creating spectacular theatre, film and opera, wanted to mentor “someone I can have a dialogue with”. She found her in British director Selina Cartmell, for whom the mentorship is an ideal opportunity for the rare privilege of watching another director at work as Taymor creates a new opera, Grendel.
