New Work: Movement with jian pablico

"Movement was at first, a way to run away from something...the most prominent movement practices I had in my life came after breakups." 

Jian Pablico began his education in movement with boxing, then capoeira and later CrossFit. Aside from being an athlete, Jian is an incredible leader and mentor for young people through founding VARS/TY initative and co-founding of The Distrikt. Jian's inspired me to think bigger about how I can serve my community, what it means to be a man and finding my movement practice.

I asked Jian if he would help us test a RED-Dragon set up with a wireless follow focus and video system (which ended up failing). Recovering from a torn abdomen, he moved like a champ. What resulted was this piece, edited together with the footage and and interview with Jian.

Big ups to Popseka and his team for licensing this track to us.
