lululemon Launches Lunar New Year Campaign “Be Spring” ft Academy Award-Winning Actress Michelle Yeoh And The Theatrical Dance “Wing Chun”

Wing Chun

lululemon today announced that it has partnered with Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh and eight theatrical dancers of “Wing Chun” to present the short film “Be Spring”. Debuting in time to welcome the Year of the Dragon, this film is a celebration of the arrival of spring, a season signifying rebirth and new beginnings. Through a poetic enactment of the meeting of mind and body, the film explores the concept of wellbeing, inviting us to find eternal spring in our everyday lives.

Born in the East and raised in the West, Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh embodies the cultural confluence of East and West. Her years of training in both dance and martial arts have formed the foundation for her decorated acting career. On being well, Yeoh recommends taking time to listen and understand oneself – our mind, body and spirit – as keys to achieving balance and finding inner peace in one’s life.

“I’m delighted to be partnering with lululemon. Sports have always been an important element of my life, and I am committed to encouraging more people, especially younger generations, to benefit from sports and find balance in their own lives,” said Michelle Yeoh. “Wing Chun holds a special place in my heart. Back in 1994, I starred in the movie ‘Wing Chun’, and thirty years later, I’m honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with these professional dancers to re-interpret Wing Chun through the short film ‘Be Spring’. This is a concept that resonates with me deeply. Having our own inner spring all year round is our superpower.”

“At lululemon, we believe that everyone has the right to be well, and we are committed to the advocacy of wellbeing. This new year, we wanted to explore wellbeing through the lens of eastern culture – our essence, our energy and our spirit (精气神),” said Lynn Cheah, Vice President of Brand Marketing & Community at lululemon China. “Presented through the

juxtaposition of Chinese martial arts – in this case Wing Chun (咏春) – and dance, ‘Be Spring’ is a celebration of spring, and an invitation to find balance and your own eternal spring. It is an honour and a pleasure to have both Michelle Yeoh and dancers from the theatrical dance ‘Wing Chun’ join us in realising this film. Through their movements, they truly demonstrate both the power of martial arts and the grace of dance.”

The short film “Be Spring” was produced by an all-star cast and crew, and was shot in the mountain settings of Jingning and Xiandu, featuring Michelle alongside a cast of dancers from the Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre.
