This one is well worth your six minutes…. I dare you not to have a smile on your face by the end!
The Knight Foundation has begun funding a series of 1,000 “Random Acts of Culture,” in which performers show up in public spaces and simply begin sharing their art with the unsuspecting crowd. As the director of the foundations says:
Hearing Handel, or seeing the tango in an unexpected place provides a deeply felt reminder of how the classics can enrich our lives. As you’ll see in our videos, the performances make people smile, dance, grab their cameras – even cry with joy. For those brief moments, people going along in their everyday lives are part of a shared, communal experience that makes their community a more vibrant place to live.
This time they showed up at Macys in Philadelphia. See what you think!
