LAI Hung-chung

Artistic Director and Choreographer

LAI Hung-chung, a graduate of the Department of Dance at National Taipei University of the Arts.

In 2016, he participated in the Ministry of Culture's “Creative Dance” competition, winning 4 awards including one gold award, two honorable mentions, and one excellent work, making him the first choreographer in the history of the "Creative Dance(舞躍大地)" competition to receive four awards simultaneously.

Between 2017 and 2018, LAI submitted his works to various major international choreography competitions. Standing out among hundreds of entries, he garnered 13 major awards in international choreography competitions and consecutive invitations to festivals, launching international tours of his choreographed works.

LAI Hung-chung's works revolve around the themes of freedom and constraint, drawing inspiration from daily life and incorporating elements of Tai Chi to create a distinctive dance style. His repertoire includes BOUNDLESS, See You, Formless Erosion and Birdy, all embodying this spirit. See You was nominated for the Taishin Arts Award and received nine five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the UK and the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia. From 2022 to 2023, both See You and Birdy achieved sold-out success with 20 performances each at the Festival Off Avignon in France.
