🌅In the the generation🌅

Over the years my approach to breaking has evolved with age and shifted focus… but the small amount of breaking I have managed to do so far this year is really owed to this group of young and hungry individuals. @riskybusiness.uk

Leading them through drills sessions, and passing on our knowledge and experience this summer along side @recklesslee1, continues to be a privilege and a gift.

Equally I learn a lot for them, as they inspire me to keep going, push me to keep training, and to keep the love alive for the art form to which I’ve dedicated a lot of my life.

✨ Meet the Team Behind In Aulis ✨
More of the people making this happen — and the things they’d rather we didn’t mention:

🤸 Gavin Vincent — Combat Director
Has exactly one tattoo — a “mango nebula,” inspired by the mangoes that grow on Antigua (he’s half Antiguan). He also, simply, likes mangoes.

🎬 Ivy He — Stage Manager
Can work out almost any song by ear — but put sheet music in front of her and she’s back in kindergarten.

✍️ April Peng — Script Editor
She is an only child with five parents.

🎙️ Alex McQueen — Voice Coach
Before all this, his day job was designing libraries for hotels and resorts around the world.

More of the team soon. Catch In Aulis at the Camden Fringe — 8 & 9 August, 7pm, Young Actors Theatre, Islington. Link in bio to book.

📥In the sharing📤

A look back to Japan - skill sharing with my bro @shinobi_mover both teacher and student.

- over the years how we teach and deliver complex movement techniques, becomes just as much of a skill as the movement itself -

Looking back at the highlights from our Aerial Combat Workshop last month.

It was a real privilege to welcome @mehdiabdelhakmi from France to share his extensive experience in aerial combat, action design, and performance. Over the course of the workshop, participants had the opportunity to explore the fundamentals of wire work, movement, storytelling, and aerial action in a safe, creative, and collaborative environment.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend possible.
