Founded in 2010, MeimageDance centres its creative work around Artistic Director Ho Hsiao-Mei, renowned for her distinctive, imaginative approach to contemporary dance. In 2011, the company launched the New Choreographer programme, a long-term initiative inviting outstanding Taiwanese dancers and choreographers based abroad to “come home” to create and perform. The project has fostered international artistic exchange for over a decade.
Dedicated to strengthening global and regional networks, MeimageDance co-founded the Dance Asia Now Festival in 2023 with partners from Japan and Korea. The festival connects Asian dance artists and creators through performances, forums, and collaborations, exploring the embodied expression of Asian cultural identity and contributing to a sustainable dance ecology in the region.
In recent years, the company’s works have gained international recognition, presented at Ars Electronica Festival (Austria, 2025), SXSW (2024), Kunstfest Weimar (2024), Roppongi Art Night (2024), Theatre Olympics (2019), and Internationale Tanzmesse NRW (2016), among other major festivals and platforms.
