Theatricise
Let's connect and I'll let you know when we're running our next workshop.
G’day Trendsetters and welcome to my website.
Theatricise is the new kid on the block
Lionel John (Johnny) Pink is my name. I have written about martial arts movements and how all of our actions map to whatever is around us, as a function of the patterning that we are all in as a very highly enthused martial arts student, since about 1973. The way movement forms to shapes that assists us to navigate equally though the Euclidean pattern of modern dwellings and Mother Nature's life pattern and how these shapes we make create character nature changes in people is really interesting.
What is different about me, aside from the fact that I write in prose (common speech) and I do not intellectually compose in the standardized way of writing is I failed school yep lowest mark ever recorded as I am an A.D.D personality type and Arts Dance and Drama attracted my creative mind and by being an Audo Didactic Developer I always questioned that which did not feel to be completely true and this attitude did not seat well with the education department back in 1968. I never went to Martial Arts training because I wanted to know how to look after myself, life taught me and I worked that out as a young child growing up in the western Australian bush. I went for the other reason that many others go and keep going, because learning about oneself and others and while being schooled by amazing examples of people fully in their self presence is great.
How will reading information from a 73 years old as of October 2026) in any way serve improve lives?
I'm like a roving reporter and what I have been doing for over half a hundred years "42 of these years with a heart area malady" is I have been looking at how humans interact with whatever is around us, relating it to martial arts theory logic and mapping it using myself as my datum since the day I realized I needed to find my own path back from long term disability and I had the real world life insight to do it.
What initially fascinated and continues to fascinate me about martial arts theory logic, started as a young roofing gang carpentry apprentice / martial arts enthusiast, back in 1970. It was then, that for the very first time ever I found myself guided to look at myself and years later while on an injury readaption journey I really looked as i mapped my way in martial movement patterns back to good health and as I did I saw something else. Like many I loved the flow and the club dynamics but what fascinated me was that fot as a repeating patter that could be honed for power and speed if focused upon, Fascinating and ejecting my energy was great fun with foot and fist but not once every in many encounters have I ever done more than situation comedy routines to resolve issue.
My light natured attitude leant through injury that the reflex spasm is far more appealing to withdraw away from trouble and by puroseful focus guide/direct absently it seems agressive action not as a planning but as a spasmodic reflex response action that is delight filled fun when incorporated into the pattern weave nature of a contemplative dance step.If you are a light-natured personality type, who enjoys moving lightly through life, while being dismissive of most, if not all confrontation, you will love what Theatricise is about. Though not unique as a life attitude, we are very unique in how we teach people to understand themselves as a patterning of behaviours. Our trainings show how our physical actions constantly repeat, as we navigate our way through life. I share an everyday Aussie larrikins perspective.
I started as an enthusiast in 1970, and this picture was taken about half a lifetime ago, back when I worked as a building site carpenter and a traditional Martial Arts trainer, before a workplace injury to my heart ended my much-loved career, changed my life and from there I rediscovered my alternative lifestyle roots.
Theatricise has evolved over time, away from traditional Martial Arts training methods and into a human movement training model, not specifically focused on combat as it's more about how our physical body as a pattern interacts, generally with life and how this can knowledge can be employed to protect us, if need be.
Our practices do not school a person to project an aggressive intent
iA passive fist navigation strategy is handy as is an unfortunate fact that should a person be involved in a violent or highly abusive situation and use martial arts technique to protect themselves, that the law often arrests this person afterwards.
It is often the case that the law assumes that the person that demonstrates the highest level of competency; to be in control of the fight and therefore a trained fighter and is often the one arrested, charged with assault and they may be deemed responsible to pay for damage inflicted, if a violent offender meets their match.
Our alternative lifestyle approach teaches people how to upgrade their situation with passive fist awareness. We train people in how to be receptive accepting and compliant in the face of aggression and to not instigate violent action, merely to avoid school guide deflect and effectively dismiss the violent actions of others away.

Our practices share the way our bodies naturally function to a patterning or a schematic and through entertainment-based trainings, we explain how two energies activate our body’s skeletal structure.
There are two ways our body operates: a person’s motor actions enable a person’s muscle culture to project actions out and away from the body as in “to throw a ball” and our bodies natural instinctive reflex response that uses the synapse to twitch retract our body backwards “as in to catch a ball” both actions of the body operate in unison these two systems enable our body to shield or to protect us.
I learnt through having very little strength for over a decade to relax, to trust my reflex spasm response how to integrate situation awareness and use the body apparently inoffensively to protect oneself.
We teach people to understand that to instigate any action forwards beyond a person’s balanced weight is unknown, however every movement that retracts backwards is instinctively understood.
Humor lives in distraction, our drama plays show how the gestures we naturally do can operate as a very effective strategy for self-protection
NOTE: it is not usually shown how light-natured larrikins everywhere, tend to deal with confrontation in ways that CCTV cameras or immediate observers identify that an unfortunate accident occurred.
Theatricise activates the creative imagination to reveal how every day, either knowingly or unknowingly, we apply instinctive actions that work to protect us. Instead of schooling people to hone individual technique or combating people into one another to train a person to fight, as this may take many years to achieve a level of competency, we employ the use of drama skits translated into game structures that school people in how to move, while instilling martially aligned situation strategies.
Situation strategies work both intuitively and instinctively to assist us
We all have our stories. What I present in all of my writings, comes from direct experience as a person who has experienced a great deal of confrontation since 1953. I have taught life enhancing information for years in Dojangs, gymnasiums, country and city halls, parks, loungerooms, backyards, forest clearings, on ovals and beaches all around Australia before turning it into a new job description.
In many ways what I present may be considered quite unusual to read, in a personal empowerment strategies book. My value to you is that I have been very depleted in strength during times of major assault, as I experienced a heart area accident in 1985. This incident markedly changed my life because I could not function as I was trained to behave, I found something out about myself (and others) that I most probably would not ever have noticed before, had I not had my heart area complaint.
Prior to my 1985 workplace accident, I had become a no-nonsense utterly dismissive, hard natured martial artist. I have always applied myself to train hard as many enthusiasts do, to be the best example of a Martial Artist that I could be and then literally quite by accident I found my life’s teacher and of course it turned out to be me.
My navigating through life with Heart area complaint, is what enables me show through all manner of example, how you can walk down the street, be at work, in a park or be doing anything and be anywhere at all and your creative imaginations support, will enable you to feel enhanced, aligned and entrained with a new sense of self-ownership, while doing nothing more than just being yourself.
As you may have already noticed, theatricise.com.au is quite unlike any other anti-bullying Website.
What makes my input different is that I could not move properly for many years. I could not lift or carry weight I could not even speak more than a few words as it stirred my chest which affected my heart area. I had a blood clot adhesion that did not show up in x-rays and so until I had a heart area operation a decade after the event, I had to learn how to manage. I went walkabout around Australia moving from town-to-town, state to state looking for alternative lifestyle cures. In spite of this restriction, as a martial art minded person, I invented training game structures, that enabled people to interact with nature to learn various principles of martial arts. Progressively I grew to understand that if I could earn money to support myself through sharing information in this way, then what I had discovered was a modality based in human action and awareness, that a great many could one day work with themselves as their own Job description. One that not only assists all ages of people, our trainings, are excellent fun and this is what you are reading about right now.
We appear more like a theatre arts class than a Martial Arts class when engaging in interactive drama plays, but the open-ended destination for all participants, is in finding new ways to feel empowered. Theatricise training is a modality that enhances a person’s everyday-naturally accepting life attitude without cultivating a mindset geared for confrontation.
Our training methods offer something extremely natural and therefore commonly understood as a concept to people used to moving softly through life, and at the same time our training methods may often highly unusual to others at first.
Theatricise sessions may be meditative or highly aerobic in the way we interact with what is felt to be around us. We are health and healing aligned more than health and fitness aligned, as our methods serve to often re-adjust, quite dysfunctional behaviors.
We offer participants regardless of their age and health an excellent platform to awaken to their own natural, free expression we are a highly entertaining community enhancing training arrangement.
Theatricise is a training study based upon the premise “did you know that you knew?” What our trainings offer is a self-development training model, that effectively works to awaken or to re-introduce each person to their own natural abilities based primarily on their own physical capacities.
Australian comedy is used regularly in the transferring of ideas that are of great importance.
For example: SCENE: an experienced build-up of pressure and confrontation looms…
Sometimes passion express itself and emotion vents. Remember anything coming at us, is pretty much the same as if we are moving towards it when we think about it and so instead of moving to physically confront force, apply a light natured dismissive or flamboyant gesture, to dismiss it. Anger dissociates through distraction and situation comedy in the energy play, casts the aggressor as the fall guy.
It will be noticed that I speak in prose (common speech) and I do not compose in a literary sense as Artificial intelligence describes there's a reason for this. Larrikins don’t usually write books, only the ones that get ill or injured tend to write, because we all just like having fun and being in the light of our everyday awareness strategically for self-protection is just how “The Do” (it’s the thing that we all do) is done. And besides, apparent innocence, dismisses legal culpability, plus, no nasty retribution residue occurs afterwards, if it seems thar you didn’t do anything.
Humans have always wanted to fly, and by applying martial technique, this is briefly possible.
Our practices support Martial Arts training in all of its many all forms, by identifying that in the gestures and postures that people use every day regardless of whomever or whatever is around us, all of us in some way or other, are engaging in a pattern nature that inextricably mimics martial art arts action all we need do is touch anything mid gesture and align in a cake slice option (a Martial Arts term) and with knowing it would be seen that every action can be judiciously applied as an impact related shape.
Our trainings assist people to identify that unnoticed within our everyday actions, our body as a repeating patterning of behaviours is training every day by muscle memory in how it is that we need to move in order to interact with the world!
NB: A lot of what you have just read was exerpted from a yet to be published work called "Larrikins and lightworkers" should you feel to purchase it when it comes online, you can read the rest of it (about 80 pages) by then it will be populated with sketches and pictures and for a great many… it will be quite an interesting read of that I am sure.
I write in prose (common speech) as I failed high school and due to very low education training what will be progressively presented here as time goes on, will entrain all drawn to repeatedly revisit my website, as there’s been plenty of things to write about, since 1973. All books that will be presented on this website contribute to the one same idea of know thyself. There are many ways that a person may do this, should you feel what Theatricise has to offer to be worthy of your support, all donations gratefully accepted: my GofundMe link
