Behind The Ease Of Parkour

Behind the scene is the discipline, the intelligence and the developing originality that evolves with repeated practise until the stage of mastery.

Parkour From The Street Into The Screen

Imagine. A new expressive form has developed from the heart of the urban jungle: PARKOUR

What can be done with it?

Put in a storyline. Put in music. Edit it smartly. Present it with style.

Here is a version:

The New Athletes Of Parkour And Freerunning

Young, energetic, agile and passionately acrobatic, this new breed of athletes use the city's buildings as their playing field.

The Hip Hoppers: Expressive Communication

Look at what this art form expresses: fluid movements that are imaginative, visually arresting, communicatively provocative in meaning and gestures.

And definitely original and reflective of the now-generation's attitude, habits, taste and style.

I like and enjoy the vigour and the personal eloquence of the dancers.

It is like watching the BIG BANG of the improvisation-process growing into an arresting new form.

Watch the taunts and put-downs and the forms of answer-backs. Brilliant body-language!

A Fresh Art Form

A new combination of techno-application with contemporary dance steps: passion, intelligence and originality in co-ordinated movements.

Passion Makes Sense!

A question that was posed: what connections are required from the beginning of time to get your parents to meet so that you can be here at this moment?

That was mind-boggling!

Imagine all that effort and time and energy and all I do is twiddle my toes and eat and work on quite insignificant stuff for years and years.

That's when the elements of passion, imagination, creativity and personal growth become important enough to be considered seriously as features of my own life.

Ken Robinson connects the dots beautifully to make sense of the diverse elements that need to come together to make meaning and sense for a life of meaning and sense.

My! That's deep!

When You Are In Your Element You Are In Happiness!

"In your element", an idiom with stunning impact, expresses an opening into happiness.

I know that when I am painting or carving or drawing, I feel happy and relax while enjoying what I am doing.

I feel the same when I am with a group of students or friends exploring subjects or situations where creating something is involved.

Sir Kent Robinson describes this state as being in one's element.

And he stunts with this impactful description: THE POINT AT WHICH NATURAL TALENT MEETS PERSONAL PASSION.
