STORY-DANCE SHOWCASE

Welcome to the Online Showcase of Wakakirri Story-Dance!

What is Story-Dance?
A Story-Dance is a 3-7 minute performance, by students, on stage of a story using a blend of creative movement and acting to pre-recorded music and/or live singing. Schools can enter either by performing at one of our live venues, or if they are more than 3 hours from a performance venue, they can film their entries and send them in to us for judging (this is part of our Country program). Like all Wakakirri comps, Story-Dance is about telling stories. Story-Dance isn’t a dance routine, it’s a Story-Dance performance. It’s not about ‘themes’ – each item needs to be telling a story (either original or known), delivered on stage with a clear ‘beginning, middle, end’ through a blend of creative movement and acting.

As an affordable and accessible event for all schools nationally, big budgets and specialised teachers are simply NOT required or encouraged – what is encouraged is creativity, resourcefulness and teamwork! The Judging Criteria and Philosophy awards very few points to sets, props and costumes - the message? Focus on the story and creativity not spending money on sets, props and costumes.
