Carry, Push, Pull: Seeing Mechanical Work in the Festival Crew
Work in the Festival: Every Carry, Push, and Lift Counts
Prop Carry Work Calculator
A festival crew member pushes a prop across the venue. Adjust the force applied and the distance moved, and watch the work build up as W = F × d. The bigger the force or the farther the prop travels, the more work the crew does.
From the Top of the Riser: Potential and Kinetic Energy in the Performance
Energy on the Riser: From Stillness to Motion
Riser Jump: Potential & Kinetic Energy Transformer
A performer stands on a riser at height h. Adjust their mass and height. Watch the energy bars transform from pure PE at the top to pure KE at the moment of landing — the most dramatic physics moment in the Cry of Jelicuon.
Beat Counts and Burst Moves: Power in the Cry of Jelicuon
The Physics of Fast: Power Before, During, and After the Cry of Jelicuon
Festival Crew Power Calculator
The Cry of Jelicuon venue must be cleared after each school performs. Set the total work done by the crew and the time available. See the power output required — and discover why a faster cleanup demands so much more from every worker.
