TAO Dance Company Tickets

TAO Dance Company, founded in 2008 by Tao Ye, Duan Ni, and Wang Hao, is a cornerstone of Chinese contemporary dance. Renowned for its minimalist, pure dance approach, the company develops the Circular Movement System—an exploration of the body in repetitive, precise motion where light and sound carry as much weight as movement. TAO’s works from the Numerical Series, numbered pieces like 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and beyond, emphasize abstraction over narrative, transforming stage time into a meditative experience.

As the first Chinese contemporary dance company invited to major venues such as Lincoln Center (US), Edinburgh International Festival (UK), Sydney Opera House (AU), and Théâtre de la Ville (France), TAO has helped redefine global perceptions of Chinese dance. In 2023, TAO Dance Company received the Silver Lion for Dance at the Venice Biennale, cementing its status as a leading force in international contemporary dance.

Gold Coast Tickets is pleased to present TAO Dance Company to audiences seeking bold, precise movement and an uncompromising artistic vision. Stay tuned for 2025 touring updates, including performances at Biennale Danza 2025 in Venice and dates across Europe and Asia.

Biography: TAO Dance Company was established in 2008 by Tao Ye, Duan Ni, and Wang Hao. The ensemble develops the Circular Movement System, a choreography philosophy prioritizing physical clarity, momentum, and the interplay between body, light, and sound. Over the years, TAO has toured worldwide, earning critical acclaim for its austere, hypnotic performances that forgo conventional storytelling in favor of pure movement.

Discography highlights: While TAO’s work is primarily presented as live performance, the Numerical Series—complete with numerical titles such as 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14—stands as a defining catalog of the company’s output and artistic trajectory. These pieces are celebrated for their exacting structure and sculptural movement language.

Upcoming tour information: The 2025 touring cycle includes performances of 16 + 17 at Biennale Danza 2025 in Venice (European premiere around July 25–26, 2025). Additional dates are planned in Vienna (August 2025), Wrocław (October 2025), and Seoul (October 2025). For the latest availability, secure your seats early with your trusted source.
