A choir named Perpetuum Jazzile uses their hands and feet to simulate a storm. Amazing! What follows is a cheesy yet impressive acapella / beatboxed version of Africa by Toto, but you can skip that if you want. Just watch the first minute or so.

Cool video of very smart Swedish project. The vid was posted almost a year ago but it’s new to me. The initiative was started by Volkswagen.
We believe that the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The fun theory.

Mass games or mass gymnastics are a form of performing arts or gymnastics in which large numbers of performers take part in a highly regimented performance that emphasizes group dynamics rather than individual prowess.
Because of the vast scale of the performance, with often tens of thousands of performers, mass games are performed in stadiums, often accompanied by a background of card-turners occupying the seats on the opposite side from the viewers.
Mass games are typically used to emphasize themes of political propaganda. They developed alongside 19th century nationalist movements, particularly the Czech Sokol movement, as they embodied youth, strength, militarism, and unity.
Today, mass games are regularly performed only in North Korea, where they take place to celebrate national holidays such as the birthdays of rulers Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. In recent years, they have been the main attraction of the Arirang Festival in Pyongyang.
The 2004 film A State of Mind details the training of two young girls from Pyongyang who perform in the mass games.
