Majestic Force and Parkour Generations were invited by the festival organisers to display our own brand of visual spectacle, which is more and more drawn on by the movie industry to bring a touch of realism to the action scenes that for so long went the way of wire-work and CGI, and fairly tired stunt techniques. With over 20 of the Majestic Force team in attendance, including the Cirque du Soleil branch from Las Vegas, it was quite a gathering and meant the energy throughout the show days was non-stop and incredibly infectious. Constant good tunes from DJ Mao didn't hurt either!

The festival had pulled out all the stops for these shows and built to bespoke design one of the largest scaffoldings ever used for a display of this sort, ranging up to ten metres in height and covering over 100 square metres. My camera had difficulty fitting it all into one shot, so I have posted a few sample shots of the structure. And what a pleasure it was to be able to play on it all day long..!

Majestic Force were also keen to use the structure and the time to bring the art of movement to some new generations, and between each display people from the audience were invitied to take part in open workshops to get a taste for the discipline. This proved to be, as ever, highly popular with the public who were raring to have a go after watching the explosive demonstrations.

It's always a real pleasure and a great experience to work on projects alongside the Majestic Force guys, and this was no exception. Their energy and enthusiasm is unrivalled, and their talent and skill always impressive.

Yann and Chau's experience of choreographing such shows allows everyone else to focus on the movement knowing that the organisation of each display is well in hand, making the whole process smooth and efficient. With 5 shows a day to fit in, it simply has to be this way!

I would like to thank everyone at Majestic Force for making us feel so welcome once again, and especially the Yamakasi founders. Look forward to the next one.. ;)
