You’ve seen Parkour before. You’ve seen the stunts; the rooftop jumps, the dizzying leaps and rapid vaults – but that’s only half the story... Parkour’s essence is in weaving through space – where the human body pours like water through obstacles, coalescing in new forms and new pathways, defying expectation and bending the rules of physics.

In this spectacular new show, Prodigal’s award-winning performers bring their contemporary and urban dance disciplines together with the astonishing skills of Parkour’s co-creators Gravity Style, to present a vision of limitless possibilities.

Commissioned by Without Walls, Brighton Festival and Dome and Juice.

Prodigal’s UPG Team has been performing Parkour for over five years, the last three in collaboration with Charles Perriere & Malik Diouf of the original Parkour group – The Yamakasi – and their organisation Gravity style.

Open Workshop

Time - 2-3pm

Location - Saint Anne's Square, Belfast - (Beside University of Ulster Belfast - see map)

Workshop participants must be at least 12 years old. First come first served. No experience necessary.
