The Plankton Dance Flash Mob

The Plankton Dance Flash Mob is a joyous team of artists and scientists dancing together on the USF St. Petersburg campus – the grand finale of the Sparks Creative Stories inclusive NEA collaboration with artists with physical and developmental disabilities at Creative Clay and researchers at the USF College of Marine Science. 

La Lucha composed the music based on choreographer Fernando Chonqui's movements, inspired by the movement of microscopic plankton observed during a visit to the Knight Oceanographic Research Center at USFSP. 

Produced with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Pinellas, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners and the State of Florida.

Playwright Sheila Cowley leads Sparks Creative Stories – a collaborative team sharing free illustrated audiobooks for kids of all abilities in English, in Spanish and in ASL on YouTube @SparksCreativeStories.
