POD: Day 95

Flash Mob: "A group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, artistic expression."

This evening at 5:15, a group of students (Team B.A.M.F.) in a Communications Studies Course (CST) from UNCG held a flash mob in downtown Greensboro, on the corner of Elm and Washington Streets. In the CST, they are studying the persuasion and communication of dance and movement. They walked across four crosswalks and performed a choreographed dance as they moved through the intersections--much to the confused delight of people in their cars and nearby businesses. By carrying out this project, they hoped to remind people to "keep on keepin' on and be happy."   

Even though it lasted for a few minutes, it provided a much-needed break in my day (not to mention a FUN one!).

POD: Day 93

J. B. Edwards, front, and Joanna Tudor, back, of Winston-Salem, watch as public art is created during the Winston-Salem Light Project at the Stevens Center on Fourth Street. The multimedia project, created by students from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, is meant to heighten awareness of city elements in a way that prompts reflection on the urban environment and our role in it. 

The Winston-Salem Light Project will present “One City Block: Urban Revelations” Nov. 16-20 from sunset to 11 p.m. on Fourth Street between Cherry and Marshall streets and in front of the Winston-Salem Journal on Marshall Street. It is free and open to the public.
