Andy Day, known to some as Kiell, discovered the sport in 2003 and attended some of the first gatherings of parkour practitioners in the UK.

Having documented them with his camera, he went on to photograph regularly for Urban Freeflow and Parkour Generations and worked as a Researcher on the classic documentary Jump Britain.

Now a climber, Andy is an occasional practitioner (though a regular photographer) which allows him a critical distance from parkour.

He’s spoken regularly at parkour events and continues to work on a longterm photographic project with athletes from the Balkans.

In 2017 Dan founded Xplore Parkour, a school of movement based in Rimini, Italy and in 2021 i founded Italian Parkour Games, the first Italian parkour competition made genuinely by practitioners, for the parkour community.

Michelle began practicing parkour in 2013, an experience which saw them through particularly difficult period in their life. Their love of parkour saw them devote two years to creating MOVE (Flow Like Water): A Parkour Documentary, Aotearoa’s first feature documentary on the NZ parkour community.

Michelle’s own journey with parkour has been one of inner strength and self-development, and they find comfort and solidarity in the traditional Chinese philosophies within parkour’s ideals. From their own experience, they believe wholeheartedly in the application of parkour to help tackle mental health issues and personal growth, and hope to make it an accessible practice to other queer & disabled individuals and POC who may benefit from it as they have.

In nurturing a diverse and inclusive community with practitioners of all different backgrounds, Michelle believes that this will be the foundation on which parkour will flourish and thrive.
