CREATIVITY: George Mayfield

S3:E4 - Creativity series.

The conversation between Wil and George Mayfield, a parkour practitioner and performer for Justice in Motion, discusses their shared interest in climbing and how George's background in parkour influences his approach to climbing. George also shared his childhood experiences and how he got into parkour. We discuss the evolution of parkour, its philosophy, and the personal experiences of George. The conversation also touched on the challenges of training in different conditions, the shift from competitive to artistic expression, and the integration of parkour with other forms of movement like dance. We discussed the challenges of transitioning between various disciplines, the importance of self-guided training, and the role of creativity in our work. We also touched on the social impact of our work, particularly George's involvement with Justice in Motion, a theater company addressing social injustices and his involvement with a nature charity. George shared his experiences of working with inner-city children, teaching them about nature and the outdoors. The conversation also touched on the concept of 'animalistic' movement and its influence on parkour and theatre.
