Athletic stunts

Whether it is a glorious pirouette or an exquisite somersault, stunts based on the performer’s abilities to contract, twist and manipulate their body to create the effect of impact is truly an underrated and under-appreciated ability. Combined with martial arts and physical prowess, the results can be electrifying: from infamous parkour jumps to body contact fighting sequences, athletics make a casual audience member to join a gym!
