Normality screening hits the streets
Here’s the same skit about how to screen normality, but taking it to the streets. This one was done in the middle of downtown Eugene, in front of a statue remembering Ken Kesey, who wrote the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Bullhorn optional. MindFreedom has conducted more than 1,000 such screenings. So far no normality has been discovered.
How do to a simple “normality screening” skit.
An easy way to participate in the IAACM is to do a simple skit to “screen for normality,” similar to an airport screening. Developed by Patch Adams clown troupe in Florence, Italy, you just need a few simple props. You can then screen your willing colleagues, friends, relatives and even strangers. If you video and upload your skit, tag it as IAACM. Just be sure to follow MLK nonviolence guidelines. This video is less than three minutes.

In this brief video (about 4 minutes), the director of MindFreedom International, David Oaks, from his desk in the MindFreedom office, calls for YOU to be one of the leaders in Martin Luther King’s vision of the International Association for the Advancement of Creative Maladjustment!
