Taya Dixon

Taya Dixon (she/her/hers) – Taya received her B.F.A in Performance from Southern Oregon University. She was also the 2022 winner of the Yale Young Native Actors Award in memory of Misty Upham. You may have seen her recently in Diné nishłį́ (as Rosie) at the Native Theater Project; Convergence (as Dee) at Oregon Origins Project; Tartuffe (as Marianne); Our Utopia (as Columbia) at Bag&Baggage. Taya is currently a substitute teacher in Hillsboro, and absolutely loves it. Taya loves singing, photography, making people laugh, and telling meaningful stories. She would like to thank her family for always telling her to reach for her dreams (even if it means watching her talk to herself all day long, and quote movies and TV shows).
