One of the final things we did for last quarter's improv class was an 'improv everywhere' exercise, in which we wandered round campus improvising slightly surreal situations. I loved it for a number of reasons, but mainly because it was subversive but positive. Anyone who saw it was pretty taken aback, and some were keen to get involved. Whatever their reaction, though, it was clear that they'd just experienced something a bit out of the ordinary, which broke up the routine of their day. I definitely want to do similar things when I'm back in London. I'm certain this sort of spontaneity is fantastic for society as a whole.

Ooh. Improv class eh? Like to check how this pans out in London... a repeat of the classic Hammer flashmob would be amazing. Maybe in Harrods?
ReplyDeleteThere was a mass moonwalk at Liverpool st last night. Didn't go though. All sounded a bit w**k. Plus i can't moonwalk. I'm sure you can though.
