Clown Olympics

During class today we performed the clown Olympics which gave us all very good experience identifying with our inner clown.  The first group did a performance where they all attempted to move an object which was much to heavy to lift up.  Finally, Bryan manged to pick it up and as he was throwing it between hands he fell over.  In the next scene everyone took turns moving across the mats while performing exercises we've covered throughout the semester.  Over all it was a very good scene that I was able to understand every part.

In my group's performance, we all split up to do separate rolls on the mats to get into out fishing poses.  Once this happened we were able to act out a scene of trying to fish something giant out of the water and manage to contain it.  Overall we found that by not grabbing the fish entirely we were able to act out a comedic routine through our personally clowning mannerisms.  Very great exercise today in class.
