Yang Liping Tech

Yunnan Yang Liping Culture Communication Co., Ltd. is a cultural enterprise founded by the renowned Chinese dancer and choreographer Yang Liping. Established on February 18, 2011, in Kunming, Yunnan, the company focuses on creating, producing, and performing dance dramas and large-scale歌舞 (gēwǔ - song and dance) shows that feature the distinctive characteristics of Yunnan's ethnic minorities. In October 2014, the company was listed on the New Third Board (NEEQ), becoming the first domestic dance and performing arts enterprise to be publicly traded in China under the name "Yunnan Culture" (stock code: 831239).

The company's business model is centered on ticket revenue from resident theatrical performances, domestic and international tours, and other derivative activities like show creation and choreography services. Its primary offerings are elaborate stage productions that blend traditional, "original ecology" elements with modern performance aesthetics. Key productions include the large-scale song and dance show "Dynamic Yunnan," the percussion-focused "Yunnan's Sound," and the dance drama "The Peacock." These shows are often performed at fixed venues, such as "Dynamic Yunnan" in Kunming and "Yunnan's Sound" in Lijiang, serving as major cultural attractions for tourists. The company also engages in global tours for its productions like "The Peacock" and "Under Siege."

The founder, Yang Liping, is a nationally acclaimed dancer of the Bai ethnic group, celebrated for her unique style and her signature "Peacock Dance." Though she lacked formal dance training in her early years, her natural talent led her to national fame in 1986 with her original piece, "Spirit of the Peacock." Her creative process involves in-depth research into the remote villages of Yunnan's ethnic groups, often casting local villagers to preserve the authenticity of the folk traditions in her productions. This commitment to cultural preservation combined with a modern business structure, including a dedicated marketing team, has enabled the company to successfully commercialize traditional performing arts.
