Improv Everywhere, a New York City-based “prank collective” is well known for its chaotic stunts in public places. The brain child of Charlie Dodd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents.

As the sun set, the two groups, dressed in black and white, were led to Nelson Rockefeller Park to participate in a series of synchronized activities involving dancing, flashlights, camera flashes, glow sticks, and tribal masks.
