Two weeks. One message. Countless people coming together to make it happen. ❤️

What started as an idea quickly became a community effort, bringing together students from Harlem School of the Arts, independent artists, dancers, musicians, and supporters from across the New York and New Jersey area.

The amazing part? Many of us didn't meet each other until the day of the event.

Yet somehow, through a shared belief in music, community, and the message behind Jarrod Lawson's "If We Pretend (Where Is The Love?)," everything came together in the middle of Times Square for a moment we'll never forget.

Featuring Turbo Goth, Sabi Pitt, NKTA, A-Natural, Surayah the Artist, members of Brass Queens, Harlem School of the Arts, and many more, this activation was proof of what can happen when people come together with a common purpose.

Tomorrow, we're excited to share the full video:

🎥 tapyoca Presents: One World w/ Jarrod Lawson & Friends in Times Square, NYC

Join us as we lift up a message of unity, love, and connection through music.

📺 Premiering tomorrow on the tapyoca YouTube channel.

From rehearsal rooms to the middle of Times Square!

The incredible students from Harlem School of the Arts (@hsaact) brought the energy, passion, and choreography to life for the Jarrod Lawson Times Square Flash Mob hosted by tapyoca during New York Music Month. @jlawsings - 'If We Pretend (Where is the Love?)'

From practice sessions to performance day, they showed up ready to move the crowd and spread the message of “Where Is The Love?” all across Times Square ❤️

Big love to every dancer, choreographer, supporter, and passerby who joined the moment with us.

More BTS: Our students rehearsing Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 3:

“The Weïrd Sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about,
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace, the charm’s wound up.”

If you do not have a ticket, you may have to buy tickets on someone’s resale site because we are SOLD OUT! It truly is a HARD KNOCK LIFE! #annie #hsadramaprep by @hsaact
