You don’t have to limit your movement to gym space.
Gyms are incredible (and sometimes necessary) tools, but outdoor training builds a different kind of confidence and body awareness.
With clear progressions and good coaching, flips can be learned safely anywhere. 🤗

PARKOUR FOR ACTORS 🧭🎭
This week at PEAK, our actors got to dive into a special Parkour for Acting workshop, designed to merge physical storytelling with emotional truth.
We started with the fundamentals of parkour and safe movement, then the actors took those skills into a full movement course… with a twist. Each person pulled a random emotion card and had to run the course in character using their body language, rhythm, breath, and physical choices to express that feeling from start to finish.
Why do this?
Because acting lives in the body.
Your movement, tension, strides, posture, impulses, and physical energy all tell the story long before a line is spoken. Exploring emotion through movement helps actors deepen physical awareness, break habitual patterns, and learn how different moods change the way a character occupies space.
At Peak Acting Studio, workshops like this are included free with any membership and we offer several every year for our students. We also have a number of classes available on Zoom so non-local students can join us from anywhere.
Based in Colorado. Rooted in community. Designed for real growth.
Come train with us. 🧡

A few days ago I taught a Parkour-for-Actors workshop with @edgemvmnt for @peakactingstudios , and it was such a meaningful crossover of two worlds I care about deeply.
Acting is physical.
Even when a scene looks “still,” there are choices happening in the body - posture, breath, tension, weight, rhythm. We communicate so much without speaking.
In class at Peak, I’ve been working on expanding emotional vocabulary and exploring gestures, and I know from experience that our emotional state also changes the way we move. So we worked on parkour basics and then for the last exercise of the workshop, I brought a deck of emotion cards. Each actor pulled a card, ran a short movement course, and embodied the emotion through their body while the group guessed their emotional state.
The intention wasn’t athletic performance, it was awareness.
How does grief walk?
How does curiosity lean?
How does fear land?
How does joy take space?
This was such a fun way to explore emotional truth through the body and I’d love to bring more of this to our communities. 💛
Thank you to everyone who came, explored, and played!! 🙏🏼🤗

A little monkey see, monkey do from @edgemvmnt parkour classes. I absolutely love teaching this kiddos, they’re such hard workers and pick things up so quickly! 🤗 Sometimes they even give ME new tricks to try (like the last clip)!

First group line of the season! There’s something powerful about moving together. Learning to coordinate, adapt, and trust in the flow of the team. Every line we run builds more than just skill, it builds connection, confidence, and creativity. Proud of these kids stepping into the season strong! Can’t wait to see where we go from here.
Training outdoors, growing together.

Here’s a sneak peek at some recent parkour challenges and courses designed for my students! ✨ Highlights include: mastering fears, crafting progressions, practicing safe bails for big leaps, sustaining momentum through climbs and drops, and linking movements we’ve honed in class.
❣️Thanks for filming, Mom 🫶🏼 @muzickmblvks
