Guernsey Eisteddfod French

 

 

Please hand in your entries for 2009 Eisteddfod on Saturday 8th November 2008, between 2.00pm - 4.30pm at The States Education Centre, The Grange, St Peter Port.

The French Section usually kicks off the Eisteddfod in early February, adjudicated by a French national connected with the performing arts.

There is an entertaining and varied session for students 13-18 on the Friday night and a session for under 13s and adults on the Saturday morning.  Young people compete as individuals in reciting poetry and prepared reading, singing and monologues. School groups compete in choral speaking, short extracts from plays, dialogues, songs - classroom, traditional, sacred or popular and duets.

Competitors may choose to perform in costume and with movement and props as they wish.

You don’t have to know much French to enjoy the sessions and you would have to go a long way to see anything sweeter than the little children on the Saturday morning!
