Matthew Vincent Taylor, “a fellow whose brilliance is neither accidental nor passing”, is an interdisciplinary artist based in New York City’s East Village, a current graduate student in NYU Steinhardt’s ABT Ballet Pedagogy Program, a new member of the Diversity Program at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, New York, and Chief, Artistic Director, of his formalized non-for-profit: The F.art Company, The Fine Art Company. Since 2003—when, at the age of seven, his first choral music session was published—he has cultivated two decades of professional and academic arts experience between Nashville and New York City, spanning session singing, dance, theater, comedy, and new satellite media propagation.

​

Matthew earned his BFA in Dance from NYU: Tisch School of the Arts on a full merit based scholarship in 2018, choreographing the most works in his graduating class and serving as a teacher’s assistant in a contemporary partnering pedagogy study, 2016-2017. While at NYU, he also served as a Welcome Week Captain through NYU's Center for Student Life, overseeing teams, organizing events from 10 to 15,000 people, and fostering a welcoming environment for new students—experience that mirrors his current commitment to building community through the Steinhardt Dance Education Program.

​

As the Chief, Artistic Director, of The F.art Company (est. 2018), a Fractured Atlas non-profit dedicated to recalibrating societal norms through movement, comedy, and media, Matthew has coordinated performances, workshops, and community events with artists from HBO, CBS, New York Comedy Festival, and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre New York where he interned, 2019-2020; he has also been apart of the Advanced Sketch Writing Program since pre-pandemic. His performance credits include collaborations with Crystal Pite (Kidd Pivot), Second Avenue Dance Company, Josh Prince (Dance Lab New York), Mandy Moore (So You Think You Can Dance), MADBOOTS dance, Warren Carlyle (Astaire Awards), Whitney Browne, and The Caravaglia Photo Studio, appearing on stages such as Carnegie Hall, New York City Center, Radio City Music Hall, The Joyce Theater, Jack Crystal Theater, New York University Skirball Center, and Paper Mill Playhouse.

​

Now in 2025, since studying and interning at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater New York, Matthew has fused theatricality, choreography, and comedy into socially conscious work, with projects like Hypocrites Welcome, the scentient, F.ART.S LIVE!, & Finagling with Feminism. By chance, Mr.Tersebashian's artistic process deepened when comedy and dance completed each other—each holding what the other lacked, creating a whole greater than its parts. That is how paradox captivated him; he has been a captive audience ever since. For Matthew, “Paradox is Holy Shit”: not a contradiction to be erased, but a union of opposites to be embraced—where order needs chaos, tradition sharpens innovation, and humor deepens gravity. This philosophy runs through his work as a dancer, vocalist, actor, photographer, content editor, choreographer, comedian, and writer, with each discipline informing the others, underscoring his commitment to the Marcelian patience required for paradox and constitution to flourish into Ciceroian craft.
