With 10,000 RSVP on the Facebook page, Improv Everywhere has mass of people ready to whip their pants off in the spirit of being one in a sea of faces. Their comedic performances don't go along with the more common song-and-dance flash mob types, and their 'missions' are stated to cause 'chaos and joy. A provocative event, and probably one of the most well known, the No Pants Subway Rides have already completed ten performances, since 2002, and, this year, occurred in 50 cities worldwide.
Improv Everywhere: Gotta Share! The Musical
In the spirit of technology-driven corporations, the performance of Improv Everywhere at the GEL conference in 2011 really made the point that people need to be online 24/7. For the presenting company, Twirlr, the troupe definitely left a mark on audience members as performers proclaimed their love of sharing information from their seats in the crowd and extra flowed in from the exits. But lesson learned: don't ask them to turn off their devices, because they might attack you with song.
Downtown Disney Proposal
With over five million hits and at least a dozen remakes, the flash mob proposal is something you might have seen before. The soon-to-be-engaged Jamin takes it upon himself to coordinate a catchy dance proposal for his girlfriend outside of the Rainforest Cafe in Lake Buena Vista to the tune 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars. I know I'm a girl, but this warms my heart just to think about.
