Description of Duo Interpretation (DUO)

Two competitors team up to deliver a ten-minute performance of a published play or story. Using off-stage focus, Duo Interpretation (DUO) competitors convey emotion and environment through a variety of performance techniques focusing on the relationships and interactions between the characters. No props or costumes are used. Performances may also include an introduction written by the students to contextualize the performance and state the title and author.
