My Role

Street Training Group

My Involvement with Street Training

'low impact' parkour e.g. building bridges across railings, crossing invisible barriers, climbing things! creating noise, creating shapes, looking at details, sitting, balancing, dancing, piling, falling... yeah everything!

street training has shown me i do all the joyful things naturally, and is inspiring me to push myself physically and mentally to do more- break the barriers of the city.
iv met amazing people who i have seen grow over the sessions, and i hope they have seen me grow too. i hope we carry on using the city as a playful toy, creating colour and wonder in a grey urban landscape, and that we can show people that it's not strange to dance down the street, sing to yourself, or stop and smell the flowers (or the smelly corner if you so choose!)

activate the city and it will work for you- think of the futureheads 'city is here for you to use'

'these are the things that make it better
are you ready for the city?
is the city ready for you?
dont you know you have to choose?
the city is here for you to use!'

About me

fine art graduate, i volunteer a lot. there are so many things i have enjoyed volunteering for i still don't know what i want to do forever! hopefully something to incorporate my work (which is also my play!)

i love the city and all its details. i particularly love the graffiti, the street stickers, the small protests, people interacting with each other, the 'help points' ^_~ colours and sounds, round things, walking and talking with people i love and care about, pointing out things we notice.
