Search Results for: label/Parkour
I’ve written a lot about parkour and its relationship to physical comedy, especially here, but also in all these other posts, so I can’t resist sharing the feline version, “Purrkour,”a brilliant piece of filmmaking by Robert Dollwet. (Thanks to Riley Kellogg for the link!)
I like parkour and I’ve already written several posts about it. I like it not only because it’s cool and acrobatic and creative, but because its use of the existing environment and everyday objects has a lot in common with physical comedy. No wonder that many parkour devotees adopt Douglas Fairbanks and Buster Keaton as their patron saints.
