Tai Chi

by Elke Kauschke

On Sunday, 10th September, we went on a day coach trip to Haworth, in the Bronte country, and visited the Bronte Personage Museum. While our group were waiting to go inside, the film group decided to film the Thai Chi Part from the movie “Calendar Girls“. So a group of about 10 people, including me, crept away to look for a good place. We found one, a few metres away from the museum, on a field belonging to a farm next to us. We made someone our leader (I'd better leave out the names), who made up a choreography while filming and all of us were standing behind her. Besides the fact that none of us had ever done any Thai Chi before, we also had to look what our leader was doing. So it didn´t look in any way relaxed and comfortable. Everyone of us laughed so much, that we had to stop the first try. The second one went quite well and we are all looking forward to the excursion film, where this event, which took only about 15 min. will be shown.
