Curated by Ars Association, the “Artists’ Lab Workshop” series is inspired by the concept of Laboratory, inviting some of our favorite local and international artists to Taichung to share their art, philosophy, and embodied methods. These gatherings aim to offer inspiration through exchange and learning for those who are passionate about the performing arts.
This year, we are honored to feature two outstanding Taiwanese female artists: • Ljuzem Madiljin, founder and artistic director of Tjimur Dance Theatre, and • I-Fen Tung, co-artistic director of Fist and Cake Production.
Together, they will lead two workshops of demonstration and practice, focusing on presence and breath—perfect for those who love movement and dance.
