Vocal music is allowed. Open themes. Programs should entertain/move the audience. Props are allowed. Skaters have 1 minute to place and remove all props. Props must be limited to those that the skater can carry on and off the ice unassisted through the normal skater s entrance door and nothing may be used that could damage the ice surface (shaving cream, confetti, water, etc.). No props are allowed on the ice during warm-up. Performances will be judged from an entertainment standpoint, for theatrical and artistic qualities. Technical skating skills and difficulty will not be rewarded as such; however, skating must be the major element of the performance and be of sufficient quality to support the theatrical elements chosen. Jump difficulty is not rewarded in showcase, therefore, jumps, if choreographed, should be those performed with style, flow, and confidence. Unintended falls, poorly executed skating elements and obvious losses of control will reduce contestant s marks. Theatrical elements evaluated will include energy, poise, acting, gestures, eye contact, choreography, form, extension, and the use of costumes, props, and ice. There is no minimum time requirement. Timing starts with the first motion of the body hand, head, skater, etc. There will be a 0.2 deduction for each 10 seconds in excess of the maximum performance time. Levels may be grouped together in order to run the event. ***Test requirements for each showcase group are the same as the freestyle levels indicated*** NATIONAL SHOWCASE 2010: A COMPETITION IN THEATRICAL SKATING: Singles competitors who place 1 st through 4 th in a singles artistic event may qualify for National Showcase Eligible skaters will have placed 1st through 4th as previously described and will have passed the Preliminary Free Skating test and above OR completed requirements for Adult Interpretive Free Skating and above.
