Mark Smith contacted me recently to thank me for the inspiration to explore trees in his movement, shortly there after he published a video showing where those explorations have taken him so far.
Very glad to see the contagion spreading, back to the trees my friends and learn something of how you came to be a human.
I like the creativity in his movement its interesting to see someone who does not come directly from a parkour background start exploring locomotion in the trees provides an interesting contrast in movement style, Mark has explored a few different things including martial arts and gymnastics but described his biggest recent influence as Ido Portal and Ido’s locomotion work is apparent in his approach.
Very cool stuff.
