It’s that time again, get ready to be wowed…before that, here’s the theme tune to this post – Artists Tristan Surtees and Charles Blanc have a new public experiential project which turns regular pavements and open areas into a stage. Its a great piece of audience engagement, with interesting results. By just simply replacing a regular streetlight with a spotlight on an area at night, general passers by have been provoked to dance, play football keepy-uppy, kiss and generally hog the limelight in any number of ways. Or in many cases avoid the limelight. Something as simple as a spotlight can captivate, engage and involve an audience effectively.

See the video below which features the spontaneous performances of passers by from around the world. The current spotlight destination in its world tour is MediaCity.
