House Gymnastics - James R Ford
House Gymnastics
Created in 2002 by James R Ford and Spencer Harrison
Performance
Performance
This fitness regime is akin to an indoor version of Parkour or an internet based, Fluxus "happening", which encourages maximum audience participation. The participant uses their surroundings in their house as apparatus. When someone performs House Gymnastics, the aim is to create human sculptures that last around 3 seconds.
