Project Description

Images produced for the Red Bull Event – Art of Motion at the Royal National Theater
Established as the first free running competition in the world in 2007, Red Bull Art of Motion makes its long awaited UK debut in London in March 2011. The event is like no other and will captivate the eye with an amazing blend of artistry from the disciplines of free running, parkour, martial arts and gymnastics. Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome obstacles within one’s path by adapting movements to their surroundings. Free running is a form of urban acrobatics where individuals utilise the city landscape to perform movements throughout the natural features and terrain. You can expect to see the boundaries of both sports continually pushed as the athletes blend the two, and also add aesthetic movements seen in tricking and gymnastics to create entirely new styles and moments, or extensions to existing movements which were previously considered impossible.
