The Big Brag
Here is what I could find about the original cover, or what I think it is.

Clown Olympics
Group 1 (Darcy, Kayla, and Rachel):
I really feel like this group a great job in terms of using as many actions as possible. The group really took charge in demonstrating what clowning was in a technical sense. Personally I felt that it was a little long, but I enjoyed it. One thing that I did not understand was the miming conversation that Darcy and Rachel had after Kayla decided to quit.
Group 2 (Eli, JD, Jess):
This group was very successful when it came to clowning through the physicality. Each of the members knew exactly what kind of clown (or person) they were portraying, and they allowed the hats to illustrate those characters for us as well. One of my favorite parts was when Jess was doing the relay race, when Eli did his shot-put, and when JD tried to catch his body from the fall on the map. I think I enjoyed these parts because those are the moments when the characters really seemed to be set in stone. There was a point towards the Mid-End where the energy dropped a bit, but the group picked it back up.
Group 3 (Melissa and me):
I think that my group did a great job of telling a story. One of the things that I could have improved on was incorporating more clowning actions into my routine. We had them in the story, but it was mostly Melissa who had the actions. In a way it worked for our characters, but I still feel as though I could have done more. I did enjoy our length though.

Clownlympics
JD, Jess, Eli
I loved this. There was something very classic about the way they set up the entire scene. JD always seems to have a strong, hilarious character (Comedia del arte HOHOHOHO.... or however you would spell that laugh lol) and everything was timed well. I agree Eli could have committed more to the bit where he took a really long time to throw the discus and as the person doing the drumroll I got sick of that bit more quickly than everyone else ;)
Melissa and Kalond
I appreciated the spin they took on this, seeing as it's hard to have an olympic event with only two people that could hold a story/audience. Not gonna lie, I'm not sure if it was because I was exhausted but I missed the burglary thing. Once Jenn said that was what they did I needed Jess to use the triangle for MY realization lol. Very well done.
Ours
I was pleased with our clownlympics. When Darcy and Rachel came up with the idea of a dog show I was so on board for it. The only downfall was we originally planned on using stuffed animals to be our pets, and the gag would have been that they couldn't have performed because they were, in fact, stuffed animals. So we kind of threw together another opening that we could have fine tuned if we had more time to think about it. Prance, skip, run, Captain Kirk, army crawl, ausomble, sisson, full spin, forward roll, side roll, cartwheel, tuck jump, bridge, crucifix roll.

Clownlympics
Eli, JD, Jess
I thought they had a great opening. The physical characters were really strong for all three of them. I could tell who these characters where just by how they walked, which was great. I thought the part where Eli threw the heavy ball and it landed only a few feet away was really funny. Also the relay race was pretty great.
Kalond, Mel
This was an interesting story line. I liked how they went with a robbery as their "sport" in this situation. The story was easy to follow along. I liked how the chemistry between the two characters created some great give and take moments.
Me, Kayla, Darcy
I really loved our story line. Our beginning could have been longer to better establish what was going on. A comment was made that I could have embraced my winning of the dog award more instead of being sad because I'm actually a human. In hindsight I agree. If I had to do the scene over I would make that change. The stunts we used: prance, skip, run, ausomble, sisson, full spin, forward roll, side roll, cartwheel, bridge, Captain Kirk fall, tuck jump, crucifix roll, bridge, and army crawl.

Clownlympics
Hey everyone!
Today in class we did the clownlympics which was so much fun to watch and perform!!! Each group had something different, but they all were pretty specific when it came to their event. The first group was a dog show type event where each person had a dog and they did their little bit, every one different than the other. I loved the fact that we got to play music with them because we added to their intensity. I saw a lot of different movements with each person and felt it was appropriate amount with what the circumstances were. The second group did another event with running and a shotput. Eli was so funny when he just wouldn't throw the lead ball, which added to the whole experience. Each person was unique and different and it was really cool how whoever wasn't actually doing the event was rooting on the other person. The last group was Kalond and I. We definitely did something way different and did a bank robbery. This was a lot of fun and the music I felt worked with us rather than us working with the music. Kalond and I had a different dynamic than everyone that worked very well, especially with the follow the leader mentality. The movements we did were pike, side roll, prancing, backward fall, sisson, and assemble. This was really fun to do with Kalond and I was totally into this piece 100%!
