Timeline

1958

Yang Liping (born 10 November 1958) is a Chinese dancer and choreographer of Bai ethnicity.

Yang was born 10 November 1958 in Wen Qiang village, Cibihu town, Dali city, Yunnan province.

She is the eldest of four children.

Her parents and grandparents, members of the Bai ethnic minority, were farmers in a nearby village.

Her grandmother was a singer in the village.

She was born during the Great Chinese Famine and lived a hard life.

She moved to Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture with her family when she was nine.

Fearful of persecution in Cultural Revolution, Yang's father left his family.

11-year-old Yang and her mother supported the whole family.

Yang began her formal dance training at the late age of 11 at a dance troupe in the Xishuangbanna area of Yunnan, after her family moved to the area.

In the Southern flatland of Yunnan, Xishuangbanna borders the country of Burma and is dominated by the Dai ethnic group, whose Peacock dance she would become synonymous with.

1971

In 1971, she took on the role of "Peacock Princess" in the Xishuangbanna Song and Dance Troupe's narrative dance drama Zhaoshuzhun yu nanmunuona .

In her early 20s, after she moved to Beijing to dance with the Central Nationalities Song and Dance Ensemble, she made the Daomeilan's version of the peacock dance her own, recasting parts of it with deft arm and finger movements.

1986

She rose to fame for choreographing and performing "The spirit of Peacock" in 1986.

In 1986, that choreography and dance won her first prize in a national competition.

She rose to national level fame in 1986 when she won first prize in a national dance competition for her original solo "Spirit of the Peacock" (雀之灵).

Ever since, she has been dubbed the "Peacock Princess".

She has performed over 1000 shows and toured to over 30 countries and regions, including The Philippines, Singapore, Russia, US, Canada, Taiwan, Japan and Australia.

2004

In 2004, "Dynamic Yunnan" won five major awards at the National Lotus Awards, including Gold Award for Dance Spectacular, Best Choreography and Best Female Performer.

To create the exotic song and dance spectacular "Dynamic Yunnan", Yang spent years traveling to remote villages of the 26 ethnic minority tribes in Yunnan and selected over 60 villagers who had the natural gift of song and dance, from whom she built an archive re-creating this rich feast of sight and sound.

It is part of a trilogy that she directed and choreographed between 2004 and 2008: "Dynamic Yunnan", "Echoes of Shangri-la" and "Tibetan Myth".
