Focus Dance Company (焦點舞團), the student-run company of Taipei National University of the Arts’ (TNUA, 國立臺北藝術大學), launches its Boundless (無垠) tour at its Guandu (關渡) campus home tonight. While this weekend’s shows sold out weeks ago, there are still tickets left for the rest of the tour.
Boundless consists of four programs with various combinations of the 12 works by 10 choreographers, although each will open with No Name (無名) by former TNUA faculty member Yang Ming-lung (楊銘隆), who now teaches at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and end with Japanese choreographer Toru Shimazaki’s Patch Work.
The rest of the choreographers are all students and two, Ku Dian-jiang (古殿強) and Chien Ying-shuan, each contributed two pieces — Wonderland and Lily (百合) by Ku and “『』” and How Did You Do? (你也這樣嗎?) by Chien.

Feb. 17 to Feb. 23 “Japanese city is bombed,” screamed the banner in bold capital letters spanning the front page of the US daily New Castle News on Feb. 24, 1938. This was big news across the globe, as Japan had not been bombarded since Western forces attacked Shimonoseki in 1864. “Numerous Japanese citizens were killed and injured today when eight Chinese planes bombed Taihoku, capital of Formosa, and other nearby cities in the first Chinese air raid anywhere in the Japanese empire,” the subhead clarified.

China has begun recruiting for a planetary defense force after risk assessments determined that an asteroid could conceivably hit Earth in 2032. Job ads posted online by China’s State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) this week, sought young loyal graduates focused on aerospace engineering, international cooperation and asteroid detection. The recruitment drive comes amid increasing focus on an asteroid with a low — but growing — likelihood of hitting earth in seven years. The 2024 YR4 asteroid is at the top of the European and US space agencies’ risk lists, and last week analysts increased their probability
For decades, Taiwan Railway trains were built and serviced at the Taipei Railway Workshop, originally built on a flat piece of land far from the city center. As the city grew up around it, however, space became limited, flooding became more commonplace and the noise and air pollution from the workshop started to affect more and more people. Between 2011 and 2013, the workshop was moved to Taoyuan and the Taipei location was retired. Work on preserving this cultural asset began immediately and we now have a unique opportunity to see the birth of a museum. The Preparatory Office of National
On Jan. 17, Beijing announced that it would allow residents of Shanghai and Fujian Province to visit Taiwan. The two sides are still working out the details. President William Lai (賴清德) has been promoting cross-strait tourism, perhaps to soften the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) attitudes, perhaps as a sop to international and local opinion leaders. Likely the latter, since many observers understand that the twin drivers of cross-strait tourism — the belief that Chinese tourists will bring money into Taiwan, and the belief that tourism will create better relations — are both false.
