The Cloud Gate Foundation board of directors recently approved Lin Hwai-min’s plans to retire from his position as artistic director at the end of 2019, according to a statement by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre. The board of directors also appointed Cheng Tsung-lung, artistic director of Cloud Gate 2, to succeed Lin, as of 2020.
Lin, a 70-year-old novelist-turned-choreographer, established Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, Taiwan’s first professional dance group, in 1973. He appeared during a news conference and photo call for his new show “Formosa,” saying that he was looking forward to enjoying his retirement. The show also marks Lin’s 90th work with the dance group over the past four decades or more.
Cheng, 41, a graduate from Department of Dance at Taipei National University of the Arts, is an outstanding choreographer from the middle generation in Taiwan. Since taking over Cloud Gate 2 in 2014 he has created several successful works, and was personally chosen by Lin as his successor.
