This year we’re excited to welcome
2024 Taiwanese Cultural Goodwill Mission of the National Day of R.O.C (Taiwan)
performed by National Taiwan College of Performing Arts and Taiwan Acrobatic Troupe
as they kick off their North American Tour with us!!!
The NTCPA Acrobatics Troupe is the only acrobatic company under the auspices of the government in Taiwan. Formerly known as the Fu Hsing Acrobatics Troupe, it was firstly founded on July 1, 1990, under the instruction of the Executive Yuan. The Acrobatics Troupe is composed of youths who have received rigorous acrobatic training for at least eight years. These young artists are agile and nimble, capable of doing breathtaking acrobatic movements. Their performances also demonstrate the profound culture in arts.
The Taiwan Acrobatic Troupe was founded in 1990 as well and is currently the only professional acrobatic troupe in Taiwan. The troupe includes members that are largely drawn from graduates of the Department of Acrobatics and Dance at National Fu Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy and the Chinese Folk Arts Training Center. All of them are professional performers who have undergone intensive training to refine their skills to a high level.
