Round 2's Backstage Assignments:
Quote:
ROUND 2 (7am--7pm CST, July 13): Setting the Stage
1.Choose an area to set up the stage. Is it next to a river (for audience members to jump into in case the fire breathing act goes wrong), a bakery (for consecutive snack-breaks throughout the day), on a hill (so people will buy drinks from you after having to walk up it)? Now draw the area and give a brief 200 word description of why you chose it.
Worth $30.
2.Build a model of the stage out of household items. Make sure to take into account a space for the audience to stand\sit. Make the stage as elaborate as you wish, just make sure that it’s recognizable as a stage. Take a photo of it when it’s built to your liking.
Worth $40.
3. Your team members’ obligations are pulling them ever farther away from planning the show, but you are determined for preparations to continue. Describe in 200 words how you would harmlessly sabotage (paradox anyone?) their jobs\household chore-doing\etc. in order to get them back to planning.
4. The company you ordered your stage decorations from shipped you the wrong ones… That’s the last time you’ll order from them. Because of your team’s budget, you now have to make your own decorations. Draw 3 decorations that you will put up on your stage.
Worth $20.
5. You want your street circus’ planning to be a secret from the other teams. For this reason, you construct a super-secret hide-away base! (what happened to the budget?) Draw a picture of what the base looks like, and point out 3 major features of the base that serve to up its secret-ness.
Worth $20.
6. Oh no! Another team has discovered your super-secret base, despite all your attempts to keep it… well, secret. Quick, choose one of your team members to act as decoy while the rest of you run, draw the other team away, just plain kick them out, etc. Write 100 words of who you choose, why, and how they get rid of the other team.
7. Phew! The other team has gone and your team can get back to planning. Go on YouTube and find 3 songs to play during your street show (ex. for the opening act, grand finale, etc). Link to the songs when you submit them, and in 200 words tell why you chose those songs for those acts.
8. The stage set-up is done! It’s chill time. Find out from all your team mates what their favorite hobbies or past-times are (being on Menewsha does not count). Make a list of each team member’s name, their hobby, and a brief 50 word description of that hobby (for example, if they like to sky-dive, where do they like to dive, and what is important to make sure they don’t go splat?)

And Promotion Assignments:
Quote:
ROUND 2 (7am--7pm CST, July 13): Expanding Outwards
1. With real items, construct a miniature-scale billboard promoting your street circus with both a framework and ad. Make the ad simple but eye-catching… Remember, it has to catch the attention of people driving by, and then stick in their memories! For the structure and frame, use popsicle sticks, toothbrushes, etc… be resourceful and creative! Photograph the billboard when it’s complete.
2. Describe where you would put the billboard in your town to have the most people see it, and why this is a good place. Descriptions do not have to be specific; “near the supermarket” or “outside the high school” is fine. 200 words.
3. Think of the forums as streets. Now describe where you would put the billboard in Menewsha to get the most people to see it. In 200 words, tell us why you placed the billboard there.
4. Make a TV commercial to promote your team’s street circus. You can write a script or make an actual video. It must not be longer than 30 seconds, whether the actual video or read. Post either the script or the link to the video here.
5. You decide to sabotage the other teams’ billboards. In 200 words describe how you would do this, and how you would get away without getting caught.
6. Design a banner advertising your team’s street circus to hang on a blimp. Draw, traditionally or digitally, the banner on the blimp.
7. A fast food chain has agreed to make a meal to promote your team. Draw a meal that represents your team. It must include the food and the packaging.
8. Draw a promotional toy design to be given out to kids in the fast food meal. It must represent your team and include a tag that shows the date of the performance. In the “blueprint,” include 1 nifty feature to be integrated into the toy (I.e. electronic sounds, moves its arms, etc).

By the way....I think we should have a giant floating stage in the middle of a lake. And then mini stages/tents set up around the lake. >D |
