The Film 

“…a gifted teacher who works upon others as the sun and rain upon plants. A master in the arts of living”

– Alan Watts

What does it mean to live a life in movement and joy? How does one synthesize the culture and philosophy of the East to a Western audience, and Western ideas back to the East? How does one move between these two cultures with grace and wonder?

Chungliang is a Tai Chi master, dancer, writer, lifelong educator and self-described perpetual student of life. Throughout his life he has bridged the East and the West. Today, at 86 years young, Chungliang moves with the energy and passion of a young person. His outlook and genuine philosophical approach to life convey an impactful message that translates across generations and cultures: to live a life of courage, passion and purpose.

The Crew

Brittany encountered Chungliang at a workshop and instantly knew she had to make a film on her subject.

She is both a filmmaker and an artist: her artwork is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Getty Museum.
