Join us for a screening and discussion of
The Professor - Tai Chi's Journey West, a film by
Barry Strugatz. The film is the first major feature documentary about
Tai Chi and one of its greatest masters,
Cheng Man-Ching, a man who brought
Tai Chi and Chinese culture to the West during the swinging, turbulent 60’s. Though
Cheng is
an important transformational figure, his teachings have been
overlooked. This documentary film tells the story of his remarkable life
and features
Tai Chi as a martial art and a spiritual practice. There will be a Q and A following the film with director
Barry Strugatz, cinematographer
Ken Van Sickle, and
Cheng Man-Ching pupil
Victor Chin.
