Storytelling
Event Description:
Storytelling: Stories to Tell in the Dark!: (Six minute maximum w/30 second grace period)
In the spirit of the Halloween season, students participating in this special event will share a story that is strange, scary and/or humorous that could be presented around a campfire for an audience of those in middle and high school. Students may use a manuscript or deliver the performance entirely from memory. The students will present selections either from published literature or from their own imaginations. Competitors are encouraged to use vocal skills, facial expressions, and/or hand gestures to develop a narrator and character/s. The presentation should include an introduction that cites the name of the piece(s) and the source. No costumes or props may be used in the presentation. Students are expected to avoid overly disturbing or violent elements, and any sexual content. Please remember to approach this event in the spirit of entertainment and fun rather than aiming for gruesome shock value.
Time: 6 minute maximum, including introduction (30 second grace); no minimum
