Description of Our Community: In the early days of Mr. Lin Hwai-min’s creation of the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, they practiced by renting the apartments around Taipei and finally they were settled down in Bali (Tamsui) as the place for dancers training. In order to practice Legacy, Mr. Lin led the dancers to “move the stones” along the river in the neighborhood as the training. Thus, the dancers could approach nature. In the process, they were concentrated and calm in the training.

Project Description: “Cloud Gate Dance Theatre” was founded in 1973 and the aim was to establish a dance troupe of Taiwan. By eastern and western physical training, including modern dance, ballet, Tai Chi Tao Yin and meditation, it reinterpreted culture and history of Taiwan and stood out on international stage. Founder of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, Mr. Lin Hwai-min founded “Cloud Gate Foundation” to reward and sponsor choreographers and dancers of new generation in Taiwan for their creation and study abroad.
