It's happening in York, England, this weekend. Head over to the city centre (Parliament Street and St. Helen's Square) this weekend and hang out--we can't tell you when exactly--but you will find yourself in the middle of a medieval impromptu dance flash mob.
Put together by York College students, its part of the Residents Festival, but also to kick off the summer’s Mystery Plays "Spectacular". It's a big ploy to get discount tickets to residents for the Plays.
According to The Press:
Charlotte Dootson, marketing manager for York Museums Trust, said: “We hope the offer will encourage residents to come and see the Mystery Plays which have been part of the city’s culture for hundreds of years. This new version promises to be truly spectacular – with more than 1,200 volunteers helping us put on a dramatic, daring and fascinating theatre production.”
At the Yorkshire Museum, residents can have a go at media make-up, theatrical and special effects make-up techniques, biblical crafts, learning more about stonemasonry and making medieval artefacts in carpentry, prop making and making masks for the Plays.
I would love to see all the fun. If anyone is in the area this weekend, send me pictures and I'll post them here!
