Where do you dance?
The lonely figure in the moon
The feather falling from the clouds.
Yang Liping is a very famous folk-dance dancer in China. she is always very bold in her artistic creation. Her bold use in pursuing the sharpness and integrity of her art was admirable.
She not only changed people’s sensory experience of folk dance, but also presented a creative artistic carrier with Chinese national characteristics to the world.
“Dynamic Yunnan”, a master piece, is the result of a lot of work by Yang Liping. She spent more than a year traveling all over the mountains and rivers of Yunnan, just to collect primitive elements of folk dance and to find spiritual folk dancers.
She also spent a year and a half editing and directing the play. Three years later, in 2004, “Dynamic Yunnan” which is a great work of folk dance was unveiled to the world. Later, this work appeared on the stage all over the world, moving the audience again and again, giving the audience a sense of wonder and artistic enjoyment.
“Dynamic Yunnan” shows the primitive, rough and colorful life of more than 10 minors including normal nature of man, Tibet, Kawa and Hani. I like the unrestrained body movement, the abstract picture constitution, the ethereal melodious music, the clear and penetrating folk song. All of these elements expressed the nature of human incisively and vividly.
The peacock are called the sun bird by Dai people. The peacock is the totem they worship. Yang Liping created a series of dance language in the form of peacocks, and the spirit of the peacock expresses her longing for a holy and tranquil world.
At the last act of “Dynamic Yunan”, Yang Liping organically choreographs her solo and group dances together, combining a novel choreography with sound, light, and effect, so that the whole dance is filled with a tranquil spiritual and harmonious meaning of life.
