Programming: Were at least two of the three genres of literature (Poetry/Prose/Drama) used in the program? Did all of the literature contribute to the theme or argument? Did the flow of the performance make sense? Was there a balance among genres in the performance?
Blocking: Can you tell what the performer was doing in each scene? Was it clear what selection the performer was using in each section? Did the performer maintain control of the manuscript at all times? Was the movement motivated in the performance?
Characterization: Did each selection have distinct and engaging characters? Did the performance match the genre (e.g. did the performer emphasize poetic elements when performing a Poetry selection)? Was the performance dynamic?
