The world is changing, as usual. The line separating the spectator from the actor is now blurred. We all want to play comedy. The emergence of reality shows proves it. In this
new culture was born the flashmob. For those unaware, a flashmob is: " the gathering of a group of people in a public place to carry out agreed actions in advance before dispersing quickly. " What Wikipedia fails to mention flashmob is that the filming is done and ends up with a shovel on youtube. It is all becoming a real sub-genre of WebVideo.
The action is more often than not agreed to call the attention of passers. It hurts, it makes you laugh, it is surprising but it is played in a gang. It's motivating.
Many argue that we stop bothering us with these rally at the jerk who lead nowhere. The flashmob was unjustly mistreated. The excesses and recovery marketing tarnish an art form yet unique and very refreshing. Come to his defense.
A flashmob is a burst of reality that leads you into another dimension with the absurd. A flashmob
not a large gathering of people dancing on a hip hop fashion. Finally, it is sometimes. Still, beyond the recreational best flashmob question our perception of reality.
Everything is allowed in respect. It makes a spectacle to entertain, to amuse, to bring the ordinary passerby on a journey into the absurd. The pleasure of flashmob is to regain control over public space. It creates the feeling of being illegal. It lightly that a legal challenge remaining (as for no pants day ). With humor that ignores regulations lock us into conformity.
We are organizing a public staging. We amused the audience the public. We express our collective creativity public.
In recent years, the group New Yorkers Improv Everywhere flashmob proposes that must follow. They are especially known for the popular Frozen Grand Central (which gave rise to a series of clones with several commercial). Me personally, I was more charmed by wedding ceremony and impromptu subway car mirror.
I invite you to view the list flashmobs best to understand the possibilities of the genre (several of which are the result of Improv Everywhere).
And here? The steps of zombies and the white dinner already exist in Montreal. So there is a significant human capital of people ready to invest in public space with a touch of madness. Still, the majority of Montreal flashmob done with youtube did not lift his head. The reason? The ones I saw had a big flaw: resume of the proposals already made without the lead further.
