Cloud Gate 2 was formed in 1999 by Lin Hwai-min, the founder and artistic director of noted Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, with the late Lo Man-fei, a choreographer and former Cloud Gate dancer, as its artistic director. After Lo passed in 2006, Lin acted as the company's director for eight years until Cheng Tsung-lung took post in 2014. Cloud Gate 2 showcases talented young dancers in original works by innovative young choreographers.
