A flashata is an event which transcends the formal into a celebration of spontaneity, creativity or communal happiness. An inspired by sparkling street culture pop children and friends getting together in spots who are ultimately large uncrowded pass each other just to hug one more time. To see the world or leave then it’s best left as an untranslatable word!
Roots and Cultural Significance
The word “flashata” comes from the Spanish verb “flashear,” meaning “to flash” or “dazzle.”In cultural contexts, the flashata is a dazzling event that brings people together for a collective moment of enjoyment or shared strength”—collective in terms both physical and emotional. These events are often spontaneous, triggered by anything from a familiar song sung by everyone to joy as the common feeling of people who have reason to rejoice. The suddenness and unpredictability of a flashata is what makes it so unique and memorable.
Flashatas are deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of Latin American societies, where music, dance, and communal gatherings play an important part in everyday life. They usually take place in public squares, parks, or any place there’s room to sit around free; a single straw mat laid out on cobblestone becomes a stage that’s open for all passersby to tread upon. Everyone present at a flashata participates, and everything is contributed during the course of twenty minutes or so together.
The Development of Flashatas
While flashatas are rooted in street culture in Latin America, the phenomenon has evolved and spread to other parts of the world. In recent years, flash mobs–a closely-related phenomenon–have sprung up in many countries throughout the world, evidence of the universal appeal this kind of impromptu performing arts has. Like flashatas, flash mobs are spontaneous events in which people gather to dance the same little dance or other many times they all know away from public ways; it is also called an “improvised choreography” (no matter what form it might take).
Another flashata trend in the past few years has been flashmobs.This kind of spontaneous event is something that can be planned and detailed by a few people.Shape or size is unimportant; however, there must be at least several participants before a flashata counts as a real event.Twitter, alongside Facebook and Instagram etc., has made Shaktimaan’s nifty full-body tights capable of OL content.Users such as @shibanyan—and through its own meme, the “Hall of the hairless hand—have formed an open platform through which they can broadcast their own activities for others to investigate or participate in.Viral videos and hashtags have taken flashatas to a whole new level, turning them into events that attract the attention of millions of people around the world.
The Elements of a Flashata
A successful flashata typically features several key elements which add to its individual charm and attraction. These are:
Spontaneity: The charm of a flashata is its random nature. This element of surprise adds excitement and vitality to this ‘in the moment’ gathering, making unforgettable memories for the participants as well as those watching.
Music and Dance: Music and dancing are the essence of the flashata experience. Whether it’s a live band, DJ, or spontaneous drum circle, together the rhythm and movement give you a sense of unity and joy.
Community Participation: Flashatas rely on the energetic participation of the community. Unlike traditional performing arts where there is always a clear division between actor and audience, flashatas invite everyone present to take part and be part of what goes on.
Public Spaces: Flashatas are typically performed in public spaces, turning the everyday environment into a temporary stage for collective jubilation. This use of public space encourages a feeling of fellowship and common ownership among those participating.
Creativity and Expression: On at flashata creative energy is allowed to take wing, providing an outlet for everyone who has something good to say. Singing and dancing may well have a place under this exotic flowering wing – just as visual arts or even performance art does so why not your idea?
Here it is as government bonus Although I don’t know if in the future flashatas might become “trap” to trap a person; for the time being they are just a very public outdoor concert in an open space and because everyone is welcome plus according goods like drink or a portable toilet, there is no regard for class.
Flash Mobs and Social Change
Twitter and Sina Weibo reached a turning point for freedom of speech. Flash mobs could be a form of a society as well as a means to transmit political views. Flash mobs are spontaneous and democratic. Anyone can join – all they need is to know the time and place of the event. It enables people to raise awareness, take their demands directly to power and mobilize communities on important social issues.
Several flash mobs have been organized for the purpose, calling attention to social evils, promoting cultural diversity and advocating human rights. When we speak of “environmental protection” Hong Kongers talk about the world in this way–steadily churning more out it for their own consumption with little thought to preserving anything either inside or outside its borders. For instance, flash mobs have been waged against political corruption, environmental degradation, and social inequality. Its characteristic of drawing people together in a shared venue lends these events an extremely powerful sense solidarity and collective action. The visibility and impact of a flash mob can also attract media attention, thus amplifying the message and reaching a wider audience.
