Outline

Due to concerns over the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) and in consideration of the health and safety of participants and staff members, this program was canceled.

Dance in Asia is a project that has been ongoing from 2010 with participating artists from Asian countries including Japan, Taiwan, Indonesian and Malaysia. In addition to participants creating and performing works under international collaborations, the project offers workshops, symposiums, and more. The aim is for the resulting close communication with overseas artists and local people involved in these activities to deepen mutual understanding, thus helping to boost stage arts, nurture talent and build professional networks in the Asian region. Principal participants include Nibroll (Japan), Century Contemporary Dance Company (Taiwan), Wong Jyh Shyoong (Malaysia) and Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia). An international co-production was scheduled to be performed at the Taiwan National Theater this year; however due to the spread of coronavirus this was postponed and is now scheduled to take place in 2021 with the same content.
