Amber Kao 高恩倍 April 13, 2014

Mirrors of Time – Amber Kao, dancer and choreographer in collaboration with pianist and composer, Ming-Hsiu Yen premiered, Mirrors of Time, on October 18th, 2013, at Taipei National University of the Arts.

The trip to Costco revealed how I had ventured from my previous comforts and habits and highlighted the path that I
