Nowadays, there are plenty of choices for the venues of performing arts, including theaters. Yet the form of theaters could be various under different circumstances. The purpose of the study was to explore how the differences of venues influence the representation of works of arts. In the program "Splendor of Taiwan" of "Taiwanese American Heritage Week&Asian Heritage Month in Canada" performance tour in 2017, there were eleven dance pieces performing in different venues in particular. It was noticed that the atmosphere, the use of props, and the final representation of the pieces could be influenced in different theaters or venues. The objects of the study are based on the proscenium arch stage and the thrust stage. By applying the two types of stages as a start, the relationship of all these factors would be analyzed. After the research, it is discovered that there is not a definite answer to which kind of the venue is the best for dance performances. It only shows that different dance pieces have their own requirements when it comes to the selection of venues. Everything has to be complementary by enhancing the knowledge of all types of theaters, and there is no wrong of right to using different venues. The most important thing is to achieve the better quality of performances by integrate all the elements together well. As a result, it is best to understand all the details of different venues thoroughly in order to apply to any kind of situation in the future.
