I read something really cool in today’s newaspaper. It’s about a group that makes ‘collective improv’. They are called improv everywhere and that is also their websites name: http://improveverywhere.com. They create chaos by collectively doing something weird and trying to get unaware passengers go along with their surreal collective.

For example, they went to The New York train station and let over 200 people ‘freeze’ at the same time for 5 minutes.

Their newest mission is faking an exhibition in the subway with posters and things that are always there, but by making a cloakroom, nametags, information signs and other things, people really think that there is an exhibition. Weird effects!!
I thought it could be inspiring…

This saturday (25th of april) they will be in Amsterdam, of you want to join, mail to amsterdam.improv@gmail.com, subject ‘count me in’ and make sure you can be in Amsterdam at about 12.

Jotte
