Event Description:

Students select a published story that meets a specified theme and perform the story for no more than five minutes. Some tournaments may ask Storytelling performers to follow a theme, though the National Tournament does not. Storytelling themes range widely and may include mysteries, heroism, or fairy tales. Students select a story that would be appropriate for young children and tell the story as if presenting to that audience. Students may use a chair. Manuscripts are not permitted. Students in Storytelling select material based upon the theme and the audience. Children’s books are commonly chosen as material. Students can also look for collections of stories on various themes, though only one story from a collection may be performed. Considerations for an appropriate piece include the student’s personality, physical and vocal performance range, and school standards.
