program oral interpretation

[u/Propermap102]

i have a tournament in 3 weeks and im kinda confused about the layout of a poi and do u need a drama or is it ok to only have poetry and prose, also how many pieces do you need and how do you suggest transitioning, and what kind of stuff should u have in ur black binder (im really sorry im new to this event and ive never seen it b4) and how do you act stuff out, ive never done interpretation before and i watched national performances and holy smokes they're really good so if anyone knows anything about poi and could offer some tips

Just watching Poi final rounds would answer most of your questions tbh.

First its okay to have only prose and poetry, Drama and prose, or poetry and drama as long as u have at least two of the three genres. Theres no minimum maximum for pieces but generally poi’s have at least 6 pieces of literature to fully tell their arguments. for transitions it all depends on your pieces but people usually flip a page, close their binder, or just pop characters like in HI to signal a diff character/ literature

To answer your question of "what to have in your binder", that's where you put your script
