Due to illness among the artists and other unforeseen circumstances, TvT Interlink International Choreographic Symposium has been cancelled. We are currently exploring alternative formats and future possibilities, and we will share any relevant updates as soon as they become available.
Since 2020, two groups of artists in Toronto and Taipei have been deeply immersed in the Toronto/Taipei Interlink, a long-term artistic exchange. Across diverse geographies and long distances, they are practicing actions of reciprocity and connection; generating opportunities for embodied relational exchange and shared community experiences.
In 2025 the exchange expands to Vancouver and culminates in a two-day symposium, presented in partnership between The Dance Centre and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The symposium brings together artists, curators and producers to reflect on the evolving intersections of choreography, cultural exchange and transnational collaboration, with panels, workshops and work-in-progress showings.
Presenting artists include Michael Caldwell, Wu-Kang Chen, Caroline Chien-MacCaull, Sammy Chien-MacCaull 簡上翔, Wen Huang, Andrea Nann, Fangas Nayaw, Heidi Strauss and 蘇品文 Su PinWen.
