Join the Flash Mob
Take Flight
Michigan Birds is taking flight beyond the wall. The Joyful Disruptors — a flash mob choreographed by 2023 ArtPrize Juried Installation winner Whitney Pyles (The Zone of Authenticity) — will dance to Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You,” dressed as birds, in downtown Grand Rapids.
Rehearsal: Friday, September 11 · 6 pm · Rewind.
Performance: Saturday, September 12 · 6 pm · Rosa Parks Circle
No dance experience needed — just a willingness to flock together.
