Parkour On & Off Screen: A Workshop Panel (PG) Hosted by PKSY Crew – The purpose of this panel is to help bring to attention the emerging use of parkour in games and media, and to translate how it changes from the way it is in real life, to how it’s depicted. This “translation” also gives curious people an insight into the world of parkour and gives them a taste of it in a small demo workshop. People can benefit from this in different ways. For one, it is just a fun activity people can learn and do things with. Secondly, if anyone is interested in learning more, they can join our program. Lastly, for cosplayers in particular; they can build a little skill (like some do with “tricking” and martial-arts) towards being used in their photography. It gives them a little more zest to portray their shots more realistically. Parkour is an emerging art/discipline, and it is also emerging as a feature or theme in media. This is a panel of both discussion and workshop working with that idea.
