Relaxing and Balancing - Yin Yang

In this hectic world of humans, minds think too much and are too active to rest, let alone achieve calmness and harmony. The sun and moon sides of the self are disturbed; in Chinese philosophy, we say that Yin and Yang must be balanced for the being to maintain good mental and physical health.

Three performers strive to relax the mind that keeps racing, moving up and down. They practice Chinese Qigong, singing bowls and physical movements to detach from a busy mind, achieving a peaceful state of body ready to relax, do nothing, and just be.

Recipient of the Outstanding Production - Highly Commended award at the Asian Art Awards 2025, presented by the Asian Art Fund Scotland at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025.
