Event Description:
Duo Interpretation: a dialogue between characters (from any literary genre) delivered by two performers from manuscripts using no props or costumes. Students should each embody character/s in stance, gesture, facial expression and vocal quality, striving for natural, realistic and believable portrayals. Offstage focus is to be maintained throughout. Platform movement should help to bring the scene to life in the minds of the audience. Both students should participate in the presentation of brief introductory remarks that, at the least, indicate the work’s title and author.
