Freeze! You’re on candid camera.

This is a brilliant improv: 207 actors froze in place – on cue – for 5 minutes – in Grand Central Station – perhaps the busiest train station on the planet.

It looks amazing. I wish I had been part of it. Although I’m not sure I could have held still for a full 5 minutes…

Thanks for sharing. I have been in that station and as you say, it is really busy. Very disconcerting when everyone else is rushing around.

Wow, that’s cool.

I had a drama teacher in year eight who used to do stuff like this – public performance art. She and a dozen of her fellow drama class students would stage a massive argument in the middle of Martin Place and attract quite a crowd. Eventually they’d stop, give themselves a clap, bow to the audience, and then be on their way. I’m not sure if I could do anything like this without getting the giggles.

Oooohhhh….Cellobella likes pink!!!! :) Lightening likes Cellobella’s new look.

That clip was hilarious. What a brilliant idea!!! LOVED watching everyone’s reactions. What a crack up. I’d be a bit freaked out if I saw that happening too!

Awesome. Watched it again with Moo, Too and MPS.

Looks like someone has been Snosified????? Am I right???

Looks fabulous!

Totally Awesome! What would it take to do something like that here. Perhaps Martin Place or the Town Hall Plaza! Food for thought! Thanks for posting this one!

The design… all my own work… well Brian Gardner did most of it. :)

Kelley February 7, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Wow. What a clever girl you are!

Cellobella February 7, 2008 at 1:31 pm

Not really. It’s mostly Brian’s theme with just a couple of tweaks.

Bigger post space to accommodate my 500px photos and my pretty Cellobella in the tagline.

ImprovEverywhere are brilliant. ;)

I’ve been following what they’ve been doing off and on for a couple of years now. A couple of the best ones are the Best Buy trick, where a whole bunch of folks go in dressed like employees at the store, and also the Slo-Mo Home Depot where they all alternate between slow moving and normal speed. :)

It’s all a set of harmless fun. :D
