Characters drive UCLA’s performances on floor. The cast includes Felicia Hano as a 1920s mermaid, Kyla Ross as the 10.0 thief and Katelyn Ohashi as the sixth Jackson. When they take the floor, the Bruins are performers in a 90-second, one-woman play. “They can forget the fact that they’re a gymnast and they’re simply performing,” Kondos Field said, “and in that performance, there are flips and twists.”. Kondos Field came to UCLA in 1983 as a part-time choreographer and still crafts the routines. Gymnasts pick their music, but Kondos Field gets final approval before choreography begins. The music motivates the movement, then a theme emerges and a character develops.
