About Us

Serving the performing arts industry since 2007

Empowering Stage Art
with Unlimited Possibilities

Kuanyou (Beijing) Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. (Kuanyou Culture) was officially registered on April 7, 2010, with its roots tracing back to 2007.

With platform operations (agency) and self-owned brand projects (principal) as our dual core, we are committed to being a one-stop service provider for the stage arts. Our business covers incubation platform operations, arts festival management, original production, and publicity — with over 600 projects served.

Since 2016, we have been the exclusive operator of various government-funded arts festivals, showcase seasons, and incubation platforms, including the Capital Script Incubation Project, "Bloom·Set Sail" Children's Stage Incubation, and the Global Chinese Youth Theatre Directors Program. In 2019, we founded the Peiyuan Youth Theatre Talent Incubation Platform, which has now completed 22 editions.

In 2024, we founded the Peiyuan Art Festival, marking a milestone from behind-the-scenes service to industry leadership. In 2025, our incubated productions toured at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We are also exploring AI and digital product directions to develop innovative tools for the industry.
