Artistic Director of HUNG DANCE
In 2017, choreographer LAI Hung-chung founded Hung Dance, with the name and meaning of “Hung” symbolizing the spirit of soaring freedom. Since its inception, the company has been tirelessly creating and striving to convey Taiwanese art through international tours. It is also committed to fostering international connections for young creative talents. In 2019, the “Stray Birds Dance Platform“ was established to support emerging choreographers, providing opportunities for production and touring, promoting international collaboration, and bringing new vitality to the field of dance in Taiwan, thus advancing the development of Taiwanese dance.
Hung Dance focuses on the interactive moments between dancer training, developing dancers‘ abilities, and conceptualizing works. It develops a dance training system according to the requirements of creative concepts, integrating traditional Tai Chi elements to find a balance between contemporary thinking and dance.
Hung Dance aspires to inspire and move audiences through its works, and invites the public to join us in soaring freely in the world of dance, both on stage and in the community.
