Over the past few months a group of people have been taking part in MOB:

MOB is a project inspired by the current craze of ‘flash mobbing’ where seemingly unplanned ‘happenings’ take place involving hundreds of children, young people and adults. MOB is about creating new ‘disturbances’ that help share the values of the Olympics & Paralympics.

Among various other things (the full list is actually pretty exhausting), they’ve performed at Prince Albert School, spent a day with First Light Movies, did a photoshoot with Adrian Burrows and rode a red bus around the city doing good deeds.

All of the activity has been collected together on this Tumblr.

The final part of the project is an exhibition that’ll be launched at The Drum on Monday 18 April at 6.30pm.

The Drum is looking of 16-25 year olds to create Olympic and Paralympic inspired flash mobs, creating new ‘disturbances’ that share values of the games – Excellence, Respect, Friendship, Courage, Determination, Inspiration and Equality.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to gain and Arts Award, work experience in the arts industry, plus paid expenses whilst you give up as much or as little of your time as you can afford.

To join the MOB and take part in free weekly activities which are open to all, call 0121 333 2422 or email n.galbraith@the-drum.org.uk
