About Workshop

TAO Dance Theater is committed to exploring a subversive body movement technology and enjoys a high reputation in the international dance community. Dancers constantly develop and challenge the potential and limits of their limbs during training, breaking through the limitations of the body and the expectations of the mind.

Since 2009, TAO Dance Theater has frequently appeared in major art festivals, colleges and art institutions around the world to conduct body workshops, lectures and classes, totaling about 90 sessions. The dance company has been invited to conduct workshops at the American Dance Festival, Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Amsterdam Dance Center, Singapore Art Festival, Dong-eui University in Busan, South Korea, National Taipei University of the Arts, Ullens Center for the Arts in Beijing, Beijing Dance Academy, Minzu University of China, etc.

In 2010, TAO Dance Theater held 40 public welfare workshops at Beijing Contemporary MOMA Art Center, Penghao Theater, and Beijing Dance Academy, with a total of 1,000 participants.

In October 2012, TAO Dance Theater promoted modern dance workshops in Shanghai, Xi'an, Guangzhou, and Beijing, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
