ROUND 3 (7am--7pm CST, July 14): Do These Pants Make Me Look Fat?

1. Time to sit for the makeup artist! Draw, photomanip, or provide a photograph of your own makeup job for 3 individual performers. If you photomanip, be sure to provide the original photos that you manipped from and the sources.
Worth $30.

2. One of the acts involves people flying on wires… So, you guessed it, that means wings are to be made. Draw or craft 3 individually unique wing designs. They can be any kind of wings, they just have to be different from one another.
Worth $35.

3. Oh, the drama… one of your performers has called you complaining about their costume. You’re annoyed at their over-reacting, but at the same time, they’re your best performer so you can NOT lose them over something like this. Write 200 words in which you detail how you respond to them in a manner that keeps them in line, makes you sound diplomatic, and in the end makes everyone happy.

4. Now for hair. Draw or create and photograph 3 hairstyles for your circus performers. Make them unique!
Worth $35.

5. Cripes! Someone’s costume ripped. In 200 words, explain what the costume is, where it was ripped, why it was ripped, and how you are going to repair it. Be creative!

6. Break time! Your team is lounging around doing pretty much nothing, and the conversation eventually turns to cosplay. Find out if anyone on your team has ever cosplayed, or if they want to. Each team member then needs to pick 1 fictional person to cosplay as (from a comic, movie, etc). Make a list of your team members’ names and the people they would willingly cosplay as.

7. One of your team members just found out that since their pet-sitter is sick, they have to bring their pet with them to the show. Looks like you now have a mascot. Find out if anyone on your team actually has a pet. If no one does, pick a random domestic species and breed, then draw it. Either way, design a mascot costume for the pet.
Worth $25.

8. Your team is tired of planning for the street performance. You guys don't want to get too far off track so one team member comes up with the idea of looking to the past.
Pick a time period and place. Find a picture that shows the fashion of the time and place. Then, redesign the fashion of the time your team picked into a costume that could be used in your street circus. Must include at least 3 articles of clothing (must be main articles like shirt, pants, dress, skirt). Submit the time period, place, and picture that you researched as well as the finished costume.
Worth $50.

ROUND 2 (7am--7pm CST, July 13): Setting the Stage

SPOILERX

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?)


ROUND 1 (7am--7pm CST, July 12): Team Get-together

SPOILERX

1. Your team members have other things to do besides planning this show. Interview each member of your team and ask them to tell you what else it is that they do that could take their attention away from planning, no matter how silly. Then quote the answers they give you (answers must be realistic, so no, “I have to help NASA build a new rocketship” or “I have to clock in at the Ministry of Magic”).

2. Oh no! One of your team members gets lost on the way over to your place. Draw a 5 panel comic of how this might have happened, what their reaction might be upon realizing they are lost, and how they eventually get to your place anyway.
Worth $25.

3. While one of your team members is taking a bathroom break from planning, you and your other team members decide to play a harmless prank on them. In 100 words, tell who you decided to prank, what the prank is, and why you chose both.

4. Two of your team members end up having an argument while planning. It turns out to be ridiculous, much to the amusement of the other team members. Draw a 5 panel cartoon of the argument; you can include the reactions of individual team members as well.
Worth $25.

5. It’s getting late. You and your team members are all deeply into planning and don’t want to stop to make dinner, so you all decide on take-out. Which of your team members makes the call to order the food, and why? Write an explanation of 100 words.

6. So much for being deeply into planning. Somewhere along the way you and your team members get side-tracked into browsing for a movie of yours to watch instead, all the while claiming that watching it would be for “research.” Pick a movie, write a three-sentence summary about it, and explain in 100 words why watching this movie would be beneficial to getting ideas for and planning your street circus. Make the explanation as factual or ridiculously humorous as you would like.

7. Oh, crumb… Your TV’s volume decides to die while you’re all watching the movie. That doesn’t stop your team from having fun, though… you can all just provide your own captions. Find a YouTube clip of the movie you decided to watch, select a segment that is a maximum of 1 minute in length, and write up a “script” that can be followed while watching that segment with the sound on mute. Provide a link to the clip, the time segment you selected (ex: 00:30-1:30), and the script that you wrote.
Worth $15.

8. After a long day of planning, you and your team members are too tired to even go home to their own beds, and fall asleep where you’re all planning . Draw a humorous picture of how you and your team members might look in this situation.
Worth $25.
