Grand Prairie High Schools Middle School Theatre Festival
2023 — Grand Prairie, TX/US
Duet Pantomime
Event Description:
This event is for exactly two performers. Pantomime is a performance in which the performers use highly exaggerated movements to recreate an abstract idea, scene, or event. The performers CAN NOT make any noise at all. The performance should be original, created by the student. No props are used, but music and pre-recorded sound effects are allowed, as long as the student(s) provides their own music/sound playing device. The performer(s) cannot mouth words to the recorded sound. No costumes, makeup, or props can be used. One chair for each performer may be used. Emphasis is on facial expression, exaggerated movements, and precise movements. Creativity and originality are appreciated. Judges will also be looking for a clear and understandable story. Performers should state the name of their original pantomime at the beginning. Time will start after the introduction. The time limit is 5 minutes. There is no minimum time limit, however, it may be a ranking factor from the judges.
