Gold by Nick Palmquist

“You better be you. Do what you can do.”

What an exhilarating experience dancing with Nick Palmquist. Thank you for teaching us how to fly… for encouraging us to be ourselves, to embrace our own differences, to feel vulnerable in our dancing… and that it’s OK being exactly ourselves because we all have a place in this world.

First of all, endless many thanks to Michelle Barber for choreographing this powerful piece; for having me in your showcase; for your energy-filled classes; for your encouragement, kindness, and patience with a beginner like me; and for teaching me everything about dance the past two years. 🙏

Fake Apple Store

iPhone X has arrived at the newest Apple Store in Manhattan!!! 😉

This is why we live in New York City! Build a (fake) Apple Store. Put on a show. Delight random strangers on the streets. Add unexpected surprises and laughters to a busy subway station. A fun-filled day with Improv Everywhere.

Check out the full mission report!

 

“Fake Apple Store” by Improv Everywhere

Directed by Charlie Todd / Produced by Deverge / Music by Tyler Walker
For our latest mission, we turned the 23rd Street 6-train elevator into New York’’s newest Apple Store. We placed giant Apple logos on the sides of the glass cube structure, added fake Apple Store employees plus a line of 50 people waiting for the new iPhone X. With the famous 5th Avenue Apple Store under construction, we felt NYC needed a new glass cube Apple Store.
