Using Parkour to rethink how we move in our everyday environment | Blake Evitt | TEDxSomerville

His extensive personal journey with parkour offers insight in how to apply parkour to our lives and to inspire our movement through play, exploration, and challenge. Parkour provides us with a unique and powerful way for us to reinvent how, why, and where we move by helping us to rethink how we interact and engage with our everyday environment. Blake Evitt is the director of Parkour Generations Americas and an ADAPT Level 3 qualified instructor. Inspired by his interest in the global potential of parkour he was awarded a research grant by Davidson College in 2009 to spend a month in Paris shadowing the founders of parkour, known as the Yamakasi. After graduating in 2010, Blake was awarded a prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to travel around the world studying parkour as an agent for positive social change. Blake returned to the United States in September 2012 to help lead the launch of Parkour Generations Americas and to develop parkour in his hometown of Somerville/Boston. Today Blake teaches parkour in the Boston area full-time and is a frequent guest instructor at events and workshops around North America and Europe.
