Duo Interpretation

Event Description:

1. DUO Interpretation (DUO)

1. 10-minute maximum with a 30-second grace period

2. Two students, as a team, are to present a memorized scene. Each speaker may portray more than one character in addition to taking part in the narration if there is any.

3. Needs to be memorized. No props, including the speaker’s body, are allowed.

1. Example: If a student with long hair wants to simulate running their hands through their hair, they must pantomime it because physically touching their hair is using a prop.

4. In this event, the two students are not allowed to touch or make eye contact. They may ONLY make eye contact during the introduction.

1. Side note: some students are REALLY good at looking in the direction of their partner, but not actually making eye contact. If you’re unsure, just make a note on the ballot similar to:

1. “Careful, it kind of looked like you made eye contact at this point….”

5. Movement and gestures, while permitted, should be suitable for an interpretation rather than a stage performance. Speakers may pivot to indicate entrances and exits from the scene, as well as other limited movements.

6. Positions other than standing should not be excessive in length or dominate the performance.
