We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the p -elastic energy. A short time existence result for $$p \in (1, \infty ) $$ p ∈ ( 1 , ∞ ) is obtained via a minimizing movements method. For $$p=2$$ p = 2 , that is in the case of the classic elastic energy, long-time existence is retrieved.
