This is a hard question to answer because PlayThink is what everyone wants it to be.
Sometimes PlayThink is a Cirque du Soleil performance, Other times it’s a circus camp. Sometimes it's a peaceful yoga class, and later a mind-blowing parkour course. It’s part summer camp and Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). Part artisan market & foodies festival. It’s a joyous community, and a wonderful space to find peace & solitude.
At its heart, PlayThink is a place for one to explore athletic & creative interests.
Flow Arts is a form of moving meditation, a physical expression of emotion, and a medium to channel personal growth.
At its most simple form, Flow Arts is the disciplined movement of one or more objects around the body.
