Taiwan's Hung Dance Makes Los Angeles Debut With 'Birdy' at USC Bovard Auditorium on October 29, Free and Open to All
Taiwanese dance company Hung Dance made its Los Angeles debut on the evening of October 29 with Birdy at Bovard Auditorium at the University of Southern California, in a performance running from 7 to 8 p.m. Admission was free and open to everyone, with reservations required. The performance was presented by USC Visions and Voices and co-sponsored by the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, with a reception after the show courtesy of the Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles.
Created by the company's artistic director Lai Hung-chung, Birdy explores the interplay of freedom and limitations within Taiwan's communities, blending electronic music with Chinese classical music and fusing Tai Chi with contemporary dance. The auditorium is located at 3551 Trousdale Parkway. For Chinese audiences in the greater Los Angeles area, the evening offered a chance to see a Taiwanese contemporary dance company perform on the U.S. West Coast.
