Combined Interps
Event Description:
Combined Interps:
Multiple events are offered in the world of Interps, each ranging within 7-10 minutes per performance. Those events include: Humorous Interp (or HI), Dramatic Interp (or DI), Duo Interp (or DUO), and Program Oral Interp (or POI). All of these events ask for a student to make a piece of literature come to life through characterization and movement. Judging interpretation events, or Interp, can be thought of as judging the acting abilities of performers. It is important that all competitors are memorized. If any competitors aren’t completely off script they cannot place 1st in the room. Each competitor is allowed 30 seconds under and over the 7-10 minute range before they are docked speaker points or stopped.
*Important note: POI competitors are required to have a binder as a prop. This isn't a script, but a device used to help tell the story. While their script will likely be inside the binder, they should not be reading from it. No other interps should have a prop of any kind.
