2. A QUICK RECAPBrief: Discover and explore disruption in acrowded marketplace to inspire anaudience and sell tickets. 3. METAPHORSNOW:Blue Man Group is like...A hybrid car because its innovative and progressive.Binoculars, because they offer a new way of seeing/a new perspective.Your first chemistry set, because it opens a world of experiments.A road trip, because you dont know whats around the next corner.A fancy tasting menu, because every bite is a new adventure.An amusement park, because one ticket opens a world of entertainmentpossibilities.A party because anything can happen.Electricity because its shocking and charged.Dancing because you can do it alone but its better with others.A volcano because its fiery and unpredictable.A dream because its colorful, fast and you dont remember every detail but it stayswith you. 4. METAPHORStomorrow:Blue Man Group will be like...A tattoo because you wake up and its still there.A rock band, because when you go to see it youll see greatest hits & new tracks.A vacation because its different every time and you feel revitalized.A living poem because you like it but you arent sure what it means.A shot of adrenalin because you cant get enough.Wine, because it tastes different to everyone, but everyone wants a drink.Fireworks because it dazzles and ignites your senses and when its over, you stillhave ringing in your year.A social movement because its contagious and you want to be part of it part ofthe life force. 5.
