Queensday act with Icelandic volcano      

Commissioned by Joram, Balder, Ine and Bas

To provide my boys and the neighbours kids with a Queens Day act in the Vondelpark, we created a game: ‘Defy the Ash Cloud’. Participants got 3 paper planes to throw and try to land them on the Schiphol runway. One major obstacle: an erupting volcano… Made from an old umbrella, some fabric and a bicycle pump and filled with flower. Ine and Balder were blowing ash clouds to terrorize the incoming planes. Contestants able to spell the name of the Icelandic volcano with eyes closed got to play for free. Over 320 people participated and got the kids a fully filled piggy bank.

Oh yeah, and we made the NOS Journaal!
