The 10 Commandments: a special interactive House Gymnastics performance. Volunteers form ephemeral human sculptures as they endeavour to complete The 10 Commandments set by Harrison&Ford. Harrison&Ford take 10 volunteers into a practice room and teach them to perform 10 different moves with varying degrees of difficulty and using different domestic apparatus:

Bath Urchin - Jumping Jack Wedge - X-door - Upper Door Frame Grab - The Triangle - Floor Chicken - Bridge - Shelf Pirouette - Elevated Carpet Crab - Door Wedge
NB. when House Gym members attempt this challenge for themselves, the apparatus can be different but there must be at least three 5 star moves and five 3 star moves, in the selection of moves chosen, utalising different body muscles and strengths.

The volunteers are set up in the appropriate parts of the rooms to perform a move each. They all have to perform their allotted move simultaneously. Each move has to be held for 3 seconds. Once everyone has completed their move, they rotate to the next house gym space to perform a different move. One minute is allocated to perform each move (including change-over time). Even if they don’t complete the move, they progress to the next. 10 adjudicators are required to check the individual moves, in the various locations, for validity and time duration. The group of people will be given a name and will receive a mark out of 100 (the maximum number of moves by the 10 people is 100). There will be a league table to see which group can achieve the highest total in the quickest time [click here for a set of guidelines]
