Duo Interp
Event Description:
The speakers shall explore a theme by presenting one or more sections taken from one or more of the following areas: drama, prose or poetry (including song lyrics). If more than one selection is used, the selections should be related; they should deal with the same general idea or theme. The title and author(s) of the selection(s) must be given. The material may be memorized, read and/or extemporized. Contestants are allowed gestures, movement and singing. Focus may be direct during the introduction (the performers may look at each other) but must be indirect (offstage) during the performance itself, and they may not touch each other. The mechanics of speech must be observed faithfully –poise, quality and use of voice, effectiveness and ease of gesture, emphasis, variety and enunciation. In addition, the contestant must be able to interpret the full meaning of the oration and be able to carry the interpretation over to the audience. Presentations should be appropriate for all audiences.
