Dismount the Horse by Talzhemir1 Dismount the Horse by Talzhemir1
Johnny, head of the Beijing Opera Club of Austin, is demonstrating how the Chinese Opera actors pantomine mounting and dismounting a horse.

A riding crop with horsehair tassles momentarily doubles for a horse's neck. In this picture Johnny has stepped off and the horse is presumably sent back to the stables.

Interestingly, the horse mounting gesture is very very similar to Tai Chi's "Part Horse's Mane".

Looking at the photo, I was just thinking that reminds me of Tai Chi's "Part Horse's Mane" and then I read your comment. xP Very neat stuff you get to be in on there though, not to mention, I bet that is some delicious tea!
