Warrior Invitational
2021 — NSDA Campus, SC/US
Duo Interp
Event Description:
Duo Interpretation
NFL Description and excerpts from the National Ballot: This is a two-person category in which the selection may be either humorous or dramatic in nature. Each of the two performers may play one or more characters, so long as performance responsibility in the cutting remains as balanced as possible. If the selection is prose or poetry and contains narration, either or both of the performers may present the narration. Focus may be direct during the introduction [the performers may look at each other] but must be indirect [offstage] during the performance itself. Performers may not touch. All other rules are the same as Dramatic Interpretation.
Time Limit: 10 minutes, with a 30 second grace period. (Presentations that exceed the grace period may not receive first place in the round. Any other penalty is at the judge’s discretion.)
We ask that judges be flexible when evaluating duo formats. Some duos might be performed at school, some at home. In some cases, students might be performing outside and six feet apart. In other cases, students might be together in the same room. Please remember that students are trying to navigate new technology, district policies, and standards of safe conduct. Be generous with them.
