Guiding question: How can I create a dance choreography and teach it to a group of people to perform in a flashmob?
A flash mob is a spontaneous performance that many people have learned in secret and then perform it in a big public place. The people in the flash mob don't arrive to the performance place together, but they may come in and start at different points of the performance. A flashmob could be a dance routine, a singing performance, a big freeze, or a sleeping-event, and whatever you could possibly imagine. The reasons for flash mobs are to spread joy, and just have an awesome time!
I would like to spread joy in a creative way. Around Christmas time, it’s the season to be jolly, so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to make a flash mob about Christmas! A flashmob is also an opportunity to be heard, and we would like as many people as possible to see our performance. The best place for this is at Stortorget, the big “square” in Lund. On Saturdays, there are the most people around because they are all out shopping. Especially for christmas gifts since it is quite close to Christmas. My flashmob will be performed at 14:00 on Saturday, December 17th.
Area Of Interaction: Human Ingenuity
Human ingenuity questions why and how we create. What the consequences are of creating, and how humans think, create and initiate change. This area of interaction fits in with our flash mob because we are creating a dance routine, and we have to figure out how to design our performance in a way so that it will look good, that it is noticeable, and so that it makes people happier on a grey, dull day in Lund.
Questions/problems:
Problems that we have right now are…
- Who will document the performance
- Organizing the dance so people don’t start dancing all at the same time. When me and Johanna have danced one round of the song, 6 other people join in, and on the third round, everyone else joins in.
- Everybody needs a red Santa Claus hat
- How to make the music heard by everybody
- How will people really learn the dance we have and be able to memorize it to the day of the performance?
- Find 50 people before December 1st
Here is an example of a disastrous flash mob event which we don’t want:
 |
| Santa Claus Invasion! |
Materials I need:
- 3 Cameras (one for pictures, two for filming) for documentation
- Speakers
- Red santa claus hats
- iPod that has the song playing the song 6 times in total
- Public communication site to give information (facebook)
