Team Improv
Event Description:
Team Improv: This is a two-person event and each student must participate in the round socially-distanced on their own device. The team will be sent two characters and two locations through the chat. The team will mute and then consult and plan with each other on a second device/method to create a skit utilizing the four prompts. Judges will provide audible, verbal time signals while the team prepares and switch to visual time signals once the skit begins. This event challenges the team (each portraying one character) to create a dynamic skit utilizing appropriate vocal expression, gesture, and interaction between partners. As a unit, the two performers will vocally and physically respond to each other’s verbal and non-verbal cues so that the environment is created in the minds of the audience. Performers may not use notes, props or costumes. Both students should participate in the presentation and create a well-organized and balanced skit with a beginning, middle and end. It may be either humorous or serious in nature.
Time limit: 7 minutes with a 30-second grace period, including prep time, divided at the students' discretion. Judges must provide verbal and then visual time signals.
