The troupe's first performance following formal training took place at Taitung County Culture Center in 1992. The troupe has won two
Golden Melody Awards for traditional music, receiving the best singing performer award in 2006, followed by the award for best traditional album in 2011. The Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe appeared at the 2006 Aboriginal Music Concert organized by the Taipei City Government, and have since performed at many festivals celebrating indigenous cultures, including the Global Indigenous Peoples Performing Arts Festival in 2011 and 2014. The troupe joined president
Ma Ying-jeou on a diplomatic trip throughout Oceania in March 2010, and returned home to feature in the
Taipei International Flora Exposition. During the exposition, the Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe and
Hugh Lee's Ping-Fong Acting Troupe co-produced
The First Lily, the first Taiwanese musical to be adapted from a
Rukai legend. In 2012, the Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe was invited to perform at the inaugural Tainan Arts Festival. The troupe performed
Maataw: the Floating Island at the
National Theater in 2016. It was the first time that the
Yami people had been featured in a performance within the theater. Other performances by the Formosa Aboriginal Song and Dance Troupe also have political influences such as
Dreaming of Azalea Mountain in 2011, about the death of
Uyongʉ Yata'uyungana during the
White Terror. ==References==
