Opening Night: Parkour in "F*CKING A"

Tonight is the opening night for the first mainstream theater to use Parkour specifically in a play. The idea was brought about by Rahaleh Nassri, Co-Director (with Keith Alan Baker) of the play. Rahaleh does Parkour at Primal Fitness (http://www.primal-fitness.com) and thought the movements would work perfectly for this production. APK's Mark Toorock was brought in to do the Choreography, and Primal Fitness' intern Aaron Kozloff is the main parkour performer as one of The Hunters . The other Hunters all wanted a piece of the action, so Brandon Hutzell, Matt MacNelly and Peter Pereyra all have pretty cool moves in their roles. In addition to their regular rehearsals, The Hunters came to Primal Fitness for several workouts, instructional sessions, and practice sessions. The play opens tonight at Studio Theater (http://www.studiotheatre.org) in Washingotn DC. Click here (gallery2/v/jams/2009/fuckingA/) for some images in our photo gallery.
