In these sessions we will explore complex problems through play, understand the deep focus and connection among humans that emerges when they tackle challenges together, and have fun in a team environment.
Dean founded Moving Puzzles to help humans explore complex problems through play. During his 10 years coaching sports teams, Dean was fascinated by the deep focus and connection among humans that emerges when they tackle challenges together. In 2019 he went deeper, discovering Fighting Monkey – a movement philosophy grounded in creative thinking, physical performance and rehabilitation. The next few years would see Parkour added to Dean's movement arts, both as practitioner and coach, where he shares his love for novel interaction with our surroundings. These experiences have led him to teach using complex movement situations to help individuals and teams discover unexplored paths through their own puzzles. Right now he runs weekly group movement classes in Adelaide, private coaching, as well as creativity & team-building workshops for corporate, academic and community groups.
