Group Interpretation is an event in which groups of three (3) or more students interpretively present literature. The purpose of Group Interpretation is to give students experience in the group performance of literature. The interrelatedness of the narrator(s), the movement of the literature, and character voices control the performance. Group Interpretation encourages students to create an ensemble performance which showcases their interpretive skills and group work without the aid of costumes, make-up, set or props. Successful Group Interp performances should be based primarily on interpretation. Focus should be primarily off-stage, although mixed focus (a combination of off-stage and on-stage focus) is allowed.
Long story short: we are a competitive theatre activity that performs a script without set, props, or costumes.
Group Interpretation rehearsals take place January - March, and competitions are in March.
Auditions and casting will take place before winter break so students can memorize over break.
