The Cape Town Tourism marketing team jumping their cares away

On Friday some of the Cape Town Tourism marketing team decided to take part in the Infecting the City productions happening around the CBD.

Our team was enthusiastically rounded up by marketing officer, Marisah Smith, and we strolled down to the Adderley Street flower sellers, where a bed was placed to allow people to jump on.

It’s amazing how jumping on a bed brings a smile to your face. I think it brings back memories of your childhood.

The people walking by were initially a bit confused as to why a linen-covered bed was placed next to the flower sellers, but as more people were encouraged to jump, the smiles and laughter grew.

Below is some more info on the production:

Might as well jump your cares away …

When:
Mon 15 – Sat 20

Where:
As it happens, around and about the CBD. A standard, white, queen-sized bed drifts about in the CBD all week long. Bishop Tutu has jumped on it. Kalk Bay Harbour fishermen have jumped on it, and so have cleaners from the Mount Nelson Hotel. Kelly invites you to take off your shoes, lay down your burdens for a few minutes, and exercise your basic right to bounce on the bed. Jump in the middle of the city. Jump for the joy of jumping.

The Bed King, Mr. Price Home, and Restorabilia have generously supported this piece.
