Here's one of the very cool flash mobs that's taken place as part of the F/T art festival. Choreographed by Jérôme Bel, I love that this dance is made up of movements easy enough for regular people to execute, while hitting a sweet spot between ridiculous, fun, and joyful.

F/T Mob series
The F/T Mob series is part of the F/T art festival. In each
F/T Mob, a renowned choreographer or director stages a flash mob intervention
involving dancers and members of the public. Unfortunately, I missed the start
of this festival but some of my friends attended and participated in the event
directed by hip hop choreographer, KENTARO!! which melded hip hop with
contemporary dance. All events are centred on Ikebukuro, the home turf of the
F/T festival. There are two more weekends of flash mobs, this coming weekend's, by contemporary dancer/choreographer, Momoko Shiraga, and next weekend's
intervention by mime artist and director, Shuji Onodera. For more information,
check out the F/T website.
