The interaction between parkour & performance in the long 20th century (1997-2019)
An essay written for the module, 'Interpreting Theatre & Performance Histories', at the University of Leeds.
In this essay I analyse the interaction between parkour and several other art forms - theatre, television, cinema, and live commercial performances - between the years 1997-2019.

I am a graduate of the Theatre & Performance BA programme at the University of Leeds.
My research project looked at the interaction between parkour and the exploration of the city'. I also looked briefly at the relationship between parkour and performance in popular media (including TV, film and theatre).
I've recently completed my 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Parkour/Freerunning, and I plan to use it to deliver free parkour lessons to young people in disadvantaged areas of Leeds.
