Event Description:

You are judging a round that has three types of speech. Rank them all against each other to show who is best. The directions for DI are below. POI is like a DI with more pieces and a little book. Duo competitors will put a link in the room chat for you to watch. All speeches should be 10 minutes, with a violation mark for exceeding 10:30 in time.

Using a play, short story, or other published work, students perform a selection of one or more portions of a piece up to ten minutes in length. With a spotlight on character development and depth, Dramatic Interpretation focuses on a student’s ability to convey emotion through the use of a dramatic text. Competitors may portray one or multiple characters. No props or costumes may be used. Performances may also include an introduction written by the student to contextualize the performance and state the title and author.

Please time all speeches.
