Naluwan Dance Troupe
Founded in 1990, this premier national-level indigenous performing arts group represents Taiwan and operates out of the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Culture Park.
For over 30 years, the troupe has placed indigenous culture at its core. Through extensive fieldwork, oral history interviews, physical expression practices, and the creative translation of these elements into music and dance, they have transformed tribal history, linguistic memory, ritualistic spirit, and everyday wisdom into stage productions that combine deep cultural roots with contemporary artistry.
