Shallom was one of the great facilitators of the Community Happenings Flash Mob events. Have a look at what she and her colleagues will do!
On April 28th 2010, the city will be presented with a one-of-a-kind mural, located at 55-57 W. Hastings Street. It will be the collaborative work of four world-renowned aerosol artists – Faith47 from South Africa, Titi Freak from Sao Paulo, Peeta from Italy, and Indigo, a local artist and dancer based in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side. These four artists have been invited by the United Church of Canada to paint their interpretation of faith, as part of their ongoing Paint Your Faith campaign. See www.paintyourfaith.com or www.wondercafe.ca for more information.
Dance and publicity…
A phone company decided to use dancing and the idea of a surprise dance performance in the public space to promote their product. People are dancing in unisson and both the dancers and the public seemed to have a lot of fun.
“At 11 o’clock on Thursday 15 January around 350 people broke into a choreographed dance routine in London’s Liverpool Street Station for the shooting of a new advertising campaign …”
I am finding myself in an interesting dilemma… I salute the choice of more diversity of physical expression in the public space but I don’t want to tag the name of the company on this blog…
