We’ve got some new Mp3 Experiment content to share. We did a live show at the InterFilm Festival in Berlin earlier this month and held an Mp3 Experiment right in the heart of the city. About 300 Germans came out to participate. It was a blast to do it in such a crowded urban area, and the language barrier was interesting to see. Most Germans speak English quite well, but certain words were lost in translation, like “charge,” which led to me being the only person to run at the start of the battle! Check out the results in the video above and this photo set.
For our latest mission, 20 Improv Everywhere agents personally welcomed home total strangers at JFK airport. Grabbing first and last names from car driver signs, we greeted strangers with personalized posters, flowers, balloons, and a 10-foot wide banner reading, “Welcome Back.”
This past September I was invited by CEC ArtsLink to travel to Russia and stage an Improv Everywhere mission with local artists in the town of Petrozavodsk. Along with Kendal Henry from CEC, I worked with about 20 Russians through a small arts center in the town. We brainstormed ideas together and executed two missions during my trip. Below is the video of the first mission along with photos from the whole experience.
Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents. The group is based in New York City.
