Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity

Charlie Todd, an event-designer is changing people’s everyday routines, perception of time and place, shocking and entertaining, and maybe opening possibilities for mass psychological treatment.

Charlie Todd causes bizarre, hilarious, and unexpected public scenes: Seventy synchronized dancers in storefront windows, “ghostbusters” running through the New York Public Library, and the annual no-pants subway ride. In his talk, he shows how his group, Improv Everywhere, uses these scenes to bring people together. (Filmed at TEDxBloomington.)

Charlie Todd is the creator of Improv Everywhere, a group that creates absurd and joyful public scenes. Full article via Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity | Video on TED.com.
