Miming as a Public Art Form

The human body is an art form in of itself so I think this would be an interesting task to attempt. Get a group of at least 15 people to gather on a busy corner street such as Montgomery Ave and Broad St. There will be at least 5 people on each corner.

Rule #1: At a certain signal, stop what you're doing and start miming for 5 minutes.
Rule #2: After 5 minutes, cross the street in any direction and when the light changes, start miming again for 5 more minutes.
Rule #3: Can interact with other mimes and also with any passerby.

The purpose of this is to see the different ways people would react and also to get as many people as possible to join in. This goal may prove to be difficult because people do tend to try to avoid interacting with others, like what Chris said in his post.
