The shared experience of absurdity: Charlie Todd on TED.com
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. At TEDxBloomington he shows how his group, Improv Everywhere, uses these scenes to bring people together. (Recorded at TEDxBloomington, May 2011, in Bloomington, Indiana. Duration: 12:04.)
Watch Charlie Todd’s talk on TED.com, where you can rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances from our archive of 1,000+ TEDTalks.
