Clownlympics Review!

Today was our clownlympics, and it was a blast!

Nikki, Scott, Jason, Zayn, and Audrey did a fishing event. I thought this was a clever idea! Everyone came out to cast their fishing line in their own character, each differing from the last greatly. I especially loved Scott's big personality. Each character was exaggerated in different ways, and I liked the diversity of clowns I saw.

My group did a track meet that we unexpectedly walked in on! We were taking a stadium tour and walked in on a crowd waiting for the track events to happen. We did shot put, pole vault, and ended with a grand pyramid. The problem was to entertain the crowd by completing the events, and each of us completed the events in our own doofy way. By the end we were all exhausted and didn't want to be performing anymore.

I loved this performance, it helped us focus more on the physicality of a character, and how that creates different personalities. This will be very helpful for our final when we move on to our Seussian scenes!
