In this paper, I focus on the process of revival, creation, and recreation of the genre of traditional dances in Taiwan and investigate the transformation and adoption among the field, the urban space and the theater. This paper opens up its discussions on Taipei Folk Dance Theater (TFDT) and on its dance productions ＂Pilgrimage＂(2004). Detailing its background and history, this paper illustrates how its artistic director, Li-Hua Tsai, responded to the expectation of the local and the global dance communities and reenacted Taiwanese dances by transforming folk performances from religious events into artistic productions on stage. I, then, analyze the dance production ＂Pilgrimage＂(2004) to disclose the connection between Baishatu Ma-Zu Pilgrimage and the choreography and to discuss its inspiration and resources from the field, the experts and the dancers. Finally, I explore the inter-relationship between this professional dance company and the folk performing troupe. The process shows a mutual direction of influences instead of a simple imitation. By tracking the routes that TFDT takes on, I argue that these ＂traditional＂ performances cannot be fixed in the past and, thus, contemporary transforming and dynamic dance creations.
