Launched in 2014, the Taiwan Season has become a hot tip at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe by showcasing a wealth of dance, theatre and live performance. This year, responding to the challenge of COVID-19, the organisers have cooked up a virtual programme of cultural close encounters. Spread across 16 sessions (including four repeats) from Tuesday 4 to Friday 28 August, the online symposium Connecting with Taiwan is a thrice-weekly series of scintillating artist interviews (Tuesdays, 1–1.45pm) and in-depth webinars (Wednesdays and Fridays, 1–3pm).

Webinar registration opens on Wed 15 July. For further information about the programme and to register, visit the Taiwan Season website and follow Taiwan Season on Facebook and Twitter.
