Clownlympics

My group did the Clownlympic event of Frisbee Golf. We started out backstage, then arrived at the park and squeezed out of our obviously tiny clown car, upstage center. We then picked teams and divided the stage a bit. Even threw it to Fabian, who threw it back but was intercepted by Amanda who threw it to me. I then used a straddle jump to catch it, then tossed it off to Octavio and ended in a 180 degree jump. Then it was thrown to Toby, who didn't catch it, which made Evan and I go for it at the same time. I used leaps to reach the frisbee and then an assemble, which also knocks Evan out. Then I threw it to Octavio, but was knocked over into a side fall by Fabian. After everyone else had been knocked out of the game, Toby discovers he is the last clown standing; which made him do a celebration combo of moves and then leave us behind.

The other two groups explored three-legged races and curling, which we were able to accompany with different instruments. Each group employed several jumps, rolls and traveling moves; with each having a unique way to communicate their event and create a cohesive story.
