Clownlympics

On Saturday, the MSCD Stage Movement Class performed their second performance of the semester--the Clownlympics! It was a blast to see how they presented events using only movement and posture. The rules for the Clownlympics were as follows:

1) No speaking! (sound ok)

2) No props or costumes.

3) Make the event clear--we should be able to tell what's happening. Funny is a bonus.

4) It should be an event that clowns would perform at the Clown Olympics.

Highlights included:

• a vivid obstacle course with clowns as athletes and obstacles
• clown gangstas with appropriate hand signals
• rebellious hurdles that want to get in the game
• clowns trying to impress the girl
• Jessica E.'s stellar (!) crucifix rolls

Good job, everyone--I can't wait till the Seuss finals! ~Jenn
