More and more people in the world practice this strange choreography from China. These slow movements are both made of distance and involvement. At times, the practicionners of Taijiquan seem to fight against an invisible enemy, at others they seem to play with invisible energies/strengths. This slowliness, this nonchalance interpellates the hurried man, disturbs him. The look that poses itself and opens itself at that unusual rate is affected by harmony and balance that emerges. Relaxed faces, internal smiling reflects the pursuit of pleasure of movement, the joy to inhabit and to feel his body without any concern for measure, nor for performance.

The title of the different movements - the white crane spreads its wings, the snake ramps, golden cock stands on one leg, riding the tiger, etc. - Recalls the shamanic roots of this art. Taijiquan is responding to very current concern to relink ourselves with the forces of life that inspire us as well as the states of consciousness that allow us to travel within the imagination. The practice requires no special dress or sophisticated equipment or particular space and fits perfectly into everyday life.
