In 1973 he spent nine months in an eclectic theater group at The Findhorn Community in Northern Scotland. There he helped pioneer "Transformational Theater," using music, drama and multi media to create works that could facilitate a shift in consciousness for the audience. In 1993, his first musical, Faustorama, reached the semifinals of the American Muscial Theater contest and enjoyed a seven-week extended run at the Hahn Cosmopolitan Theater in San Diego. Three years later he was touring to international critical acclaim as star of his one-man play Forever Jung, which has now had over 250 performances.His second musical, CRAZY WISDOM, based on the controversial life of Russian mystic George Gurdjieff, had premiere performances in California in 1993.While fully engaged in the above creative activities, John Maxwell Taylor also found large audiences eager to attend workshops based on his 40 years of experience in spiritual and personal self-development.
