FM workshops serve as a basic platform for the Fighting Monkey Practice.
We provide you with an overall introduction to the methodologies that we developed over the last 20 years of our research.
The FM workshops are rigorous but accessible to people of any background and level of experience;
there are no restrictions or prerequisites for participants.
Groups usually consist of people from various fields and skill levels;
anyone up for generative challenge is welcome and can find their place to work and explore.

DESCRIPTION

If we desire a practice that nourishes and supports our life,
it should incorporate the inherent
unpredictability of the world into its design.

Because most certainly what was useful yesterday
might not be the right solution for today.

We need to move beyond rigid and overly stable structures
and fixed forms toward open and responsive content,
guided by constant feedback from worlds within and outside.

When we dare to venture beyond
the “certainty” of deterministic frameworks,
we cultivate a practice that does not code
for a single environment, problem, plan or goal,
but rather supports a continuous capacity
for learning, problem solving, and the creation of new strategies.

We work within a structure that is that is evolvable,
capable of meeting life’s fluctuating circumstances
and unexpected earthquakes.

TOGETHER WE WILL WORK ON:

8 pillars of life supporting practice to understand
foundational FM Practice principles

Joint Articulations to increase structural stress allowance

Coordinations to foster locomotive integrity
and physical coherence

Improvisation to explore variability and novelty

Movement Situations to test the intelligence
of our problem solving through play and games
