During April , BeardedKitten invited us to come work at a Desperardos relaunch party.  The event itself was for the rebrand of the company  , with huge seminars and talks about future plans, plenty of partying and spectacles too. On a scorching London day, we were to play about on a load of shipping containers as an amazing BBQ went on with live graffiti, DJ’s , breakdancing , BMXing and more! A great day out for Alex , Tom and Frazer .. Kudos! [Show as slideshow] 12►

At the end of the year now, 2012 has been rather busy and bizzare. Have had a tonne of events and meet ups, worked on a lot of projects, with still many to be finished (such as the upcoming team video, which should hopefully drop very soon now). Just want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas, and hope that everyone has a great time chilling and taking a break from life! Looking forward to 2012, its going to bring forward a lot of awesome prospects, so see you on the other side!

Frazer ran a workshop through 5×60 for the S.T.A.R Center in Splott. Working close with the community and schools, there where tonnes of kids interested , and we are starting a series of weekly classes there come November. This class is now running and more information can be found on the classes page.

Fluidity finally got a huge chance to be a part of the maddest, most happening festival in the UK, and most likely the world. Boomtown is one of the most infamous arts and music festivals.. There really is no describing it, so check out this video of the fest below. We were based up in Kidztown at the festival, which is a chill area full of fun activities, shows and delights for the kids and their parents. A nice break away from the rest of the festival, we built a huge scaffolding rig with other structures and jammed on it each day.  After the jams we were letting the kids and even the adults give it a good go with some hour long workshops! On top of that, we were once more involved with mighty Bassline Circus, doing a short performance on stage each night in the largest dance tent of the fest. With a stage built like a party slum, full projection art and a couple of thousand people watching, this is easily one of our favourite performances we have ever done! Will hopefully have footage and all that online sometime soon! [Show as slideshow] 1

Fluidity Freerun were invited to perform at the Olympic Gala held at the prestigious Sophia Gardens. On a full Olympic gym set up in the great hall, performing short of a thousand members of the public, aspiring Olympian gymnasts and important dignitaries, Fluidity performed an intense 3 and a half minute routine combining a mix of acrobatics and parkour techniques to music. The performance was excellently received! Photos and videos soon!

We were invited to perform in a giant opening ceremony for the Urdd , this took place in the prestigious venue of St Davids Hall, and had us choreographing a piece to music inbetween other acts (such as Cheerleading, dancing , singing and more) For some more information on Urdd and Gemau Cymru , check below! http://www.s4c.co.uk/chwaraeon/e_gemau_urdd_12.shtml http://www.urdd.org/en/gemaucymru/timetable Just two weeks before the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Urdd Gobaith Cymru are holding their own sporting competition with the best of the action covered in the programme Gemau Cymru Urdd 2012 on S4C on Friday 20 July.

Jake, Craig and Frazer traveled to Manchester to work at the Manchester Science Festival  on Friday 28th. Alongside the Science Junkies team, and seriously pro trials bike rider Andrei Burton. We have worked with the legendary Science Junkies many times before, but this time the aim was to create a fully live version of the existing show, with a full rig, that can be toured across the UK in a variety of theatres etc.  The show was extremely well received and has alot of promise, watch this space. http://www.manchestersciencefestival.com/ Photo album and video will be up soon.

In May, we prepared a taster session for a group of youths up in Crynant RCT.  This was a collaboration through Groundworks Neath/Port Talbot and Playworks. Frazer, Tom and Andrew  delivered 2 one hour and a half sessions for a large amount of kids. This later led onto us doing 2 more sessions during August. We all had a great time working up there, and hopefully a bespoke parkour play park is going to be designed so that the kids of that area can carry on their new found interest in Parkour. no images were found

We were privileged to be involved with the most epic Fieldview Festival once more for some freerunning shenanigans! After working there last year, we couldn’t wait to be back at our favourite small festival.  With a great ethos on art,  crafts and performance workshops, Fieldview really is a gem of a festival with a vibe that is hard to match! We jammed it out for an hour each day followed by an hours worth of workshops! field-2 ◄ Back Next ► Picture 1 of 8

Rhid, Craig , Frazer , Joe and Tracy featured in this huge promotional advert for the University of Wales , Institute Cardiff back in 2008.

Frazer and Dom went to the station of Radio Cardiff to talk about the group, Breakin’ The Bay festival, and everything else about parkour and freerunning. It went down great with lots of general banter!

A clothing company based in Cardiff, Ed and Flo are a great collaboration of designs and shirt printing , check out the site here, and a gallery will be up soon! http://www.edandflo.com/acatalog/More_Info.html

Linked with the work we did with Groundworks and Playworks, Fluidity were invited to come up to a youth session in Briton Ferry to deliver a freerunning taster. Searing hot heat and a bit of equipment in a field, as well as a play in a park and it was a lovely successful day!
