FigureRunning in a wheelchair

Today we had a very inspiring day. Together with teenagers who are in training at rehabilitation centre ‘De Hoogstraat’, we made our first FigureRolling artpieces!

We designed FigureRunning as a motivator to go running. Of course there are a lot of people who don’t necessarily want or are able to run. But it is just as important for them to get excercise! As part of our mission to explore the possibilities of FigureRunning in healthcare we organised a pilot session today.

What was the setting? 6 teenagers age 10 to 20, few therapists, 6 smartphones and a parc. Creating art in wheelchairs, walking or on a stretcher, it doesn’t really matter as long as you move! We have learned a lot and are looking forward to researching these possibilities further. Check out these artworks and get inspired too.

Thanks a lot Hugo, David, Stefan, Mikey, Joeri and Maik! You helped us a lot!
