2/19: Qigong series: SLUGGISH by Ann Kaneko

on Feb 19 in Health, Videos by freewaves

The Qigong series is a collection of three videos demonstrating Qigong, the Chinese practice of energy cultivation. In Sluggish, Kaneko presents people in everyday situations – waiting at bus stop, sitting in traffic, sitting or standing uncomfortably on the bus. With upbeat music and simple text, in Spanish, English, and Chinese, posing questions like “Feeling Sluggish?” Kaneko then demonstrates a playful solution, with one person beginning to do simple exercises and the others following suit, transforming the boring anonymity of the bus into a playful scene of camaraderie through movement.
