Yes, you read right! Theater of Puppetry is one of the most beloved genres and loved by people of all ages. It is a very ancient form of theater. A puppet is an object, often resembling a human, animal or mythical figure, that is animated or manipulated by a puppeteer. This week there will be a special judging criterion for this round measuring how much our kids love your performances! The round-specific criteria weighting also increases to 10 points.
For this round, you will be required to do a complete performance using puppets. The puppets can be homemade, soft toys, figurines or actual puppets if you happen to have them. Whatever you use for this, make sure that you create a consistent look in your final performances. No Humans or human parts may appear in any form in this production (we will allow hands holding the puppets, but try and avoid it if you can).
Dress them up as your favorite Disney characters and sing and perform for your audience! Choose any song from any official Disney Production, sing and perform it. There must be a minimum of 90 seconds of dialogue with no maximum. The sung section must be a minimum of 3 minutes.
If you need help creating and uploading a track with space needed for these requirements please contact one of your Head Judges.
