General Information
Performance and Creative Work/Presentation Guidelines:
- Performance and creative work presentations are similar to the activities expected at a professional (fine arts conference or festival).
- Consult with your faculty sponsor to determine the most appropriate format for your presentation.
Format:
- One possible format for the performance and creative work presentation is to provide a brief introduction or description of what the audience will experience.
- Follow the introduction by highlighting what is significant or most interesting about your performance or creative work.
- Summarize your key points of features in your conclusion. After the entire presentation is completed, allow a few minutes for questions.
Presentation Tips:
- Outline the Introduction
- Practice, Practice, Practice!
- Revise your introduction and performance, if needed, to fit within the allotted time
- If not a part of the performance, avoid distracting gestures and verbal miscues, such as saying “um”, “you know” or “cuz”; fumbling with keys, chewing gum, etc
