[lab mo] introduction to the popcorn experiment

What if street art brought us new imagination and emotion...Cirque du soleil, 1984

What if values inspired an entirely new kind of business...The Body Shop, 1976

What if your loan could change lives around the world...Kiva, 2005

What if music could lift children out of poverty...El sistema, 1975

What if we changed roles to increase our awareness...Dialogue in the Dark, 1988

IT ALLSTARTED WITH

AN IDEA.

Cirque du Soleil. The Body Shop. Kiva. El Sistema. Dialogue in the Dark. And many, many more.

They all made an incredible difference and changed the world for the better, but way back...

Now, let‘s keep it simple. Take it lightly. And just think of ideas as popcorn. After all, have you ever watched a kernel of popcorn just before it pops?

It does so very suddenly and without warning. One moment it's a little kernel and the next moment: Pop! Into the fluffy white puff. Now, how about your ideas would do the same…
