Improv Everywhere – Union Square, originally uploaded by seanich

Improv Everywhere is a NYC-based improv collective who do really funny public improv such as the Circle Line Tour in the Union Square fountain and Synchronized Swimming in Washington Square Park fountain. For their newest public improv, they turned DSW Shoes, Forever 21 and Filene’s Basement into a performance space entitled, Look Up More. This entailed 70-or so “agents” (of comedy?) taking up positions in the back-lit windows at night to do a choreographed dance performance.
This would have been awesome to see, since that building is the perfect performance space from Union square. Check out seanich’s photos from the event and the Improve Everywhere write up of the mission. Also, there is a video of the event. (8megs .mp4)
