Group Acting

Time: 7-8 minutes
2-7 Students per group

The main focus of Group Acting is character interaction. Characters should move, speak, react, and act with clear purpose and intent. Facial expressions and use of body are essential. Although individual characters should develop and change accordingly during a performance, the whole group must also develop towards a clear climax and resolution. The audience can be addressed, but only in a limited manner.  All dialogue should be in English. Scattered, in context,  non-English words will be allowed. Clear, understandable accents are allowed. Use of English is marked.

Published plays, scripts, and radio dramas will be the main focus. However, students may also adapt their own scripts from other materials: poems, song lyrics, speeches, prose, etc.  Students may also choose to write their scripts.

Judging

Judging a Group Acting performance is one of the most challenging of the festival. Judges must be aware of the movements, voices, and development of multiple characters all at the same time.

Watch this video from Dan Ionescu, the Theatre Director for the Romanian-American University, for some helpful advice.
