Impromptu Children's Literature
Event Description:
Impromptu Children’s Literature: In this solo event a student will be sent two links in the chat to 2 different one-page stories. The timer begins when they make their choice of which story to present. They then mute, prepare and practice making decisions on voices, pops, gestures and tone while a judge provides audible, verbal time signals. Note: Students are not judged during practice. Once the performer is ready, they will present the piece utilizing appropriate skills to bring the story to life, using no props or costumes. Students should strive to bring the material to life in a natural, realistic and believable way. Students are required to read the title and author of the work when they begin. Judges should switch to visual time signals once the student has begun to perform.
Time limit: 7 minutes with a 30-second grace period, including prep time, divided at the student's discretion. Judges must provide verbal and visual time signals.
