Class, this is the post where I detail some of my ideas regarding the Flash Scene Shakespeare. First, I'll give Chris due credit because his idea originally led to the flash mob Shakespeare idea. For those of you who haven't seen any flash mob events, check out
Improv Everywhere's YouTube channel. Basically we all get together and do some type of Shakespeare performance in a public area, to the surprise of the complete strangers walking by. (The photo included here is of a famous annual no-pants flash mob--ours will be more conservative.) At any rate, to this we'll need to brainstorm ideas for a performance that the the whole class can take part in. Ideally, we would choose something that wouldn't single out anyone person, so that we can all be in this together (i.e. everyone gets to feel like an idiot). We'll need to select a place and time, and everyone needs to come and be prepared. So on with the brainstorming! Please comment below. I'll start with my ideas:
- We need to choose a public place--I'm thinking on campus or maybe at the University mall, or Walmart on a Saturday. Something like that.
- Performance ideas: We all memorize the same monologue an simultaneously perform it
