Everyone is invited to participate in Best Busker Ever. We are going to create an incredible experience for people. A moment that for the rest of their life, they will never forget. And here is how:

-

Imagine this. A man, standing by himself guitar in hand. Beside him sits a sign advertising that he’s singing personalized songs. Walking by, people figure they have nothing better to do, so they ask for a song.

He begins singing. Using their name he mentions how they’ve just met, and how cool they seem, etc.

As he starts singing someone joins in with a ukelele. And then another person joins, and another. And then some backup singers. And then a whole band. And it just grows and grows until everyone in the area is singing a personalized song to this one person.

This is going to be something amazing guys. We have a perfect song. We want you to be a part of it! Help sing, or play an instrument, or just blowing a kazoo. Doesn’t matter if you have no musical talent. If there is one event of ours you attend, this should be the one.

-

We will be teaching the song, and doing a small rehearsal before actually running the event. Please be on time.

Everyone is invited to participate in Improv In Toronto’s 5th Annual Subway Dance Party.

This is a silent dance party on a subway. All participants come with their OWN MUSIC, on an ipod or mp3 player. We will get on the subway and one by one start dancing, until the whole train is dancing. And yet seemingly to no music

All the information you need is below. Please read it all so this can be pulled off without any problems!
NOTE: If you use facebook, please confirm your attendance and help us spread the word: here.

Requirments For Participation:
1) Willing to dance on the subway
2) Pretend you don’t know what’s going on
3) Have fun

Details:
When: Saturday, June 11 at 3:00 pm, Sharp! (Over by around 5:00pm)
Where: Meet at the giant horseman statue in the middle of Queens Park. To subway there, walk directly south from Museum Station.
Bring: A metropass/tokens and an Ipod or Mp3 Player

How it works:
We will assemble by the Horseman Statue in Queens Park at 3 PM. Please be on time. Feel free to be early. After all participants have arrived we will be splitting everyone into groups. Each group will be getting on there own subway car.

Once ready, six groups (one group per car) at a time will head to their stated subway station. Do not talk to others once you enter the subway system. No one knows each other. You will then wait for a train to arrive going south, and all board your assigned cars (follow your team leader). We may let one train go before entering to make sure everyone is ready.

Sit in the car as you normally would. Put your headphones in, and get your music ready. From this point, you will have been told when to join in. We stagger the number of people joining the dance, so it builds in excitement, and looks like random strangers are joining it.

If anyone asks you why you’re dancing, tell them that “you just felt like joining in” or “you are on your way to a dance tryout” (or something along those lines, be original!). Please be considerate that other people are commuting. We’re trying to spice up their day, and give them something to laugh at, not annoy them.

We will exit the train at Eglinton Station. Pay attention so you don’t miss this stop. Upon arriving we’ll completely stop dancing and walk off the train like nothing happened. We will repeat the mission back going south. This time taking it all the way around the loop to Musuem Station.

If you’d like to meet up and talk about the mission, we’ll meet back up at the ROM for more fun times, and dancing.

As always this is going to be a lot of fun, it’s exciting how many people participate every year. You may bring along friends, but make sure to invite them to this event, so they get a chance to read all of these instructions.
