Participants will write movement-focused poetry and plan exploratory parkour moves using a worksheet developed by Gabe Life 100. Then, the group will move outside and try their moves together. Finally, the group will come together for a short reflection and debrief.
All approaches to movement will be celebrated. No experience necessary!
