Taiwan Season 2020

Launched in 2014, the Taiwan Season has become a hot tip at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe by showcasing a wealth of dance, theatre and live performance. This year - responding to the challenge of COVID-19, and working in tandem with the Fringe, we have come up with a month-long virtual programme of cultural close encounters. Spread across 16 sessions from Tuesday 4th to Friday 28th August, the online symposium Connecting with Taiwan is a thrice-weekly series of scintillating artist interviews (Tuesdays, 1- 1.45pm with repeats every Thursday) and in-depth webinars (Wednesdays and Fridays, 1-3pm BST).

In addition, the Fringe is hosting a Taiwan Season 2020 Showcase and Pitch (Monday, August 10, 11:00am-12:45pm BST). This one-off online event spotlights all four of the highly varied, tour-ready contemporary dance productions which would have been programmed at Dance Base and Summerhall in this year’s festival. The session will feature individual artist's pitches, a tantalising taster of each dance work and the chance to have a chat with your choice of choreographers in breakout rooms. This closed event is featured as part of the International showcase at the Fringe exchange, marketplace and are available only to those delegates who have been accredited with Fringe Society, Arts indistury.
