Trace Elements URBANology Performance



Meetings aren't always much fun, but today we had a meeting at the Arts House Meat Market followed by a short performance by Trace Elements, who practice Parkour and Parkour-inspired movement.

The Meat Markets is an incubator space for artists to use to develop new works, as well as housing community arts organisations.It's a beautiful old space and it was awesome to see the Parkour guys swinging between what I'm guessing were the old hooks to hang up meat.

Rather than try and describe parkour myself, watch the video above. There's also a longer one on Youtube showing Trace Elements in and around Melbourne featuring some death-defying leaps from buildings amongst other moves - arghh!
