We Cause Scenes

Suggestions for Improv SLC Events

So I'm thinking it's about time we have another Improv SLC event! From the feedback I've been getting, other people are interested in participating too.

So what we need now is some ideas...

What events would you like to see happen in SLC?
What are your ideas for an Improv SLC "Scene"?

Let's brainstorm!

Next idea:

"Sting" - We would need quite a few agents for this one. All of these agents would be equipped with (fake) in-ear transmitters. I'm not sure if black suit and sunglasses or regular clothes would be more appropriate. I think black suit and sunglasses would be much more obvious and attract more attention... but I digress. Anyway, the gist of it would be that the majority of the agents are involved in a sting operation. One agent would be chosen to play the part of the "criminal" and one other agent would play the part of the undercover... agent (lol). Anyway, we'd play it out just like in the movies. All of the backup agents would be scattered around the area (once again, the gateway sounds perfect) perhaps on the upper walkways and even inside shops, looking out the windows. These agents would attempt to appear discreet and remain out of line of sight of the fountain area. They would also put their hands to their ears frequently as if they were listening. The criminal would walk over near the fountain and sit down on a bench. A few minutes later, the undercover agent would walk over and sit on the same bench, facing the opposite direction, carrying a briefcase. The "exchange" would be made and the two would separate. The criminal would begin walking toward the north parking lot, and then the "command" would be given to apprehend him. Several agents would pop out in front of where he was walking, he'd notice them, and start running back toward the fountain. Several other agents would pop out and give chase, and, perhaps, tackle him. We'd then need a black SUV to shove him in to and drive him away. Then we'd all disappear.

Wow.. that came out a lot more detailed than I thought it would. I hope you made it all the way through! :)

Thoughts?

Absolutely fantastic! I wish I'd known about the previous mission! I definitely would have been there!
As for ideas:
A "musical" of some kind. I've always wanted to do something like that! We'd need quite a few good singers to pull it off though. Perhaps even choreograph a dance routine to go along with it? I can help with writing a song and with choreography. I can also sing. This is pretty ambitious though.

How about this? "Feed the Birds"... it would probably work best at the gateway, outside near the fountain. We'd have one agent with a couple loaves of bread sitting on a bench feeding the birds. Slowly, at first, then more quickly, other agents rush in from various places in the area.. sprinting down stairs and across the fountain to get to the man throwing bread on the ground. As each agent arrives, they begin to frantically chase the bread and eat it. As more and more agents are in contention for the bread, minor squabbles break out. Agents would run from other people coming near and then run back to get more bread, etc. Just think how real birds act. Once the bread was all gone, the majority of the agents would scatter and disappear quickly, while a few stayed around and searched very thoroughly for any crumbs, then leave also. The agent throwing the bread would, of course, think this was completely normal.

Thoughts? :)

yeah that'd be funny to have someone that's a "Physic" too...lol

that would be funny... I'm up for doing whatever, but I am only in Salt Lake for the week of May 26th - 30th, so we need to organize something now. If we can get enough people, I would really like to make a larger appearance with the freeze. We would probably need to find a different venue, but we can make something work. Let me know what you think. Talk to you later, I'm off to a zombie prom.

Why not do a freeze at that mall that's outside (is it Gateway Mall?)? I just moved from Utah to Washington State, but I am going to be visiting Salt Lake the last week in May. I think it would be really cool if I was able to do a mission in Salt Lake with you guys... Or maybe we could do a zombie march. We could try to rip off that "Amazing Hypnotist" act that Improve Everywhere Global did... We could do this hypnotist act in Liberty park or somewhere like that... Let me know if anyone is interested in doing something during this week that I am in Salt Lake and I'll help organize it... Maybe we could do more than one mission during this week... There are so many possibilities if people are willing to go through with it... Maybe we could get the group in Provo to help us with some of the missions, especially if we do a freeze or zombie march... Get back to me if anyone is interested.

We just did a Freeze at the Gateway two weeks ago , I posted it on youtube... sorry you missed out! But we needed like...50 more people lol. So we would like to do the freeze again.

Reply to This

We could do the Freeze again... Maybe somewhere else though. We should start recruiting people now, so when I am down in Salt Lake at the end of May we could do something... When are college graduations? Maybe we could do a freeze before or after a graduation...

yeah, I'll make a logo. It will look like the NBA and MLB logos with red on one side, white person playing the sport in the middle, and white on the other side, with MLRPS written underneath.

More ideas--

Jersey--Just put your name and lucky number (00-99) on the back with the MLRPS logo on the front if you're going to participate.

Conferences--We each have our own city we represent--I'll be the SLC rep, we could all lie about where we're from. Someone from NYC, someone from Boston, someone from Los Angeles, someone from Memphis, but no one from Vegas to keep the tradition of no pro sports from Las Vegas

Rigged--I want to win! Plus it would be funny if the top seeds from each conference really did end up in the finals against each other.

someone say something else please...

Reply to This

That sounds so fun! I think we should get the design out to people, decide who to be reps, so we can get the matching shirts going. It depends on when we do it, but I would like to be a rep... haha. Maybe we could have an actual meeting to plan... ?

ALL RIGHT!!!!!

This will be AWESOME

Please help me pull this off.

We're going to have the "MLRPS" (major-league Rock-Paper-Scissors) playoffs in SLC this year, or so we'll make people think.

At the gateway, by the fountain, we could have a big tournament set up. This has seeds, interviews, the news (that'd be SO cool) and a trophy for the top few people. We could get up to 64 people participating, maybe 128 if we get enough commitment.

Ideas:

first round--preliminaries--1 game
Second tier--2 out of 3
Third tier--3 out of 5 and so on......

support this one!

I'm in. This sounds fantastic! Can I wear a headband? Pretty please?

I just joined and am anxious to participate in something fun- and this sounds awesome! I'd for sure be on board for a MLRPS championship, if the details can be sorted out.
