About Stray Birds Dance Platform
The "Stray Birds Dance Platform"(Stray Birds) project was proposed in 2018 by its founder Lai Hung-Chung, in hopes of creating a bridge and providing opportunities for young choreographers to publish works on the platform. Furthermore, he hoped to utilize the international network of contacts accumulated in recent years to invite international choreography competitions and art festivals to present awards, select dance works by youth talents to compete, and create opportunities to connect with the world.
In accordance with the nature of the works selected by Stray Birds, choreographers are encouraged to return to dance vocabulary itself, working with clear choreographic concepts, diversity in dance movement design, and energetic solos or duets. With a platform that connects the like-minded, we can establish connections between young choreographers and the international market. It is hoped that in the future, Stray Birds will become a large-scale international dance platform.
