Dramatic interpretation is a form of performance art where an individual presents a piece of literature, such as a poem, monologue, or scene, through expressive reading and acting. The goal is to convey the emotions, themes, and characters of the text, allowing the audience to connect with the material on a deeper level. In competitions, performers are often judged on their ability to engage the audience, use vocal variety, and embody the characters. This art form is commonly featured in forensics events, where participants showcase their skills in front of judges and peers.
