Look what happens when you do a Google Video search for “Stage Combat Colorado.” Who do you think shows up top of the list? Yup, that’s right, the MSCD Stage Combat Club podcast. And you only have to scroll down a little way to see the D&D Day one. Nice.

It’s time to dig into the movement image archives…hmmmm what do we have here? Ah!
I know a sledgehammer isn’t the first weapon one thinks of when one thinks of a ninja, but a sometime-member of the Stage Combat Club (Aaron) had this realistic-looking-yet-light-plastic version that was as delightful as a rubber chicken. So a ninja will use any weapon at hand. Image: Aaron begging for mercy, Jenn as ninja bringing the hammer down. From MSCD Stage Combat Club 2009. Doesn’t it make you want to join?
Kinda like dark chocolate. Continuing in the Alice-in-Wonderland-is-haunting-Jenn vein, here’s a picture of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Apparently Burton’s upcoming Alice will be in 3-D, and, well, if you’ve seen any of his flicks you’ll be happy to hear the pithy puzzling weirdness of Lewis Carroll’s world will marry well with Burton’s Goth-like celebrations. Here’s an article from the LA Times from a while back where Burton discusses Alice. My favorite quote:
This YouTube clip surfaced once in Children’s Lit—during the Student Presentation, one student was taken by this and shared it with the class. This week was Alice in Wonderland week again in Children’s Lit, as well as rehearsal week for the cast of Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast. I guess this amazing piece of literature is weighing on my mind, this creative music video in particular. Enjoy, lovely lurkers. ~Jenn

How to begin, how to choose from so many great pictures? Friday’s belt test at the Boulder Quest Center was 1) enormous, and 2) exciting as all get-out. Remember recently when I wrote about what must have been the biggest test ever? Yeah, no. This one was huge! Highlights from the evening included:
Images from the event: Jenn kneeling on a guy’s kidney (Ian, we think) and Kim facilitating Jenn’s air break fall. A fun time was had by all.
Another group wall-fall. Also funny. Also from the MSCD Stage Combat Club April 25th. Enjoy.

The next podcast the MSCD Stage Combat Club is concocting will be focused on jumps, falls, and rolls. We took a bunch of footage today for said podcast, and one clip in particular continues to make me chortle out loud. I’m not even sure why I find it hilarious, I just do. I hereby share this clip with you, lovely lurkers: I hope you get a laugh from it as I do. Oh, there is one barely-audible mild swear word which may be NSFW or little ones. ~Jenn
Wednesday the MSCD Stage Combat club had an electrical connection and a TV playing some old performances from past classes and events. And Lego ninjas. When are they not appropriate table dressing? Before you answer that, know that Team Bonzuko had Lego pirates and ninjas adorning their wedding cake. Here are a couple images from Wednesday: the view of the Spring Fling Scene from the table, and the Legos. A
pparently they are susceptible to wind, says Nick. I guess they don’t have green belts yet?
