Improv Everywhere is a NYC based comedy group that literally brings improv into everyday life. Their motto, “We Cause Scenes” is usually very accurate of their performances. In the past, they have done everything from having actors dressed as the Ghostbusters chase “ghosts” (people wearing white sheets) around the New York Public Library, to starting a musical in a food court. Their most recent mission, however, was a little different.
This time, instead of using actors, two members of IE set up a megaphone on a podium that simply had a plaque that said, “Say something nice.” Instead of just walking by, the rest of the video is made up of clips of the various, normal people actually going up to the megaphone and saying something nice in the middle of NYC. It’s such a simple concept because it isn’t a performance based piece, but it created a great sense of community by letting regular people create their own message.
I think this really applies to the Women's Center because we really try to create an accepting community everyday on our own campus.
