For the French Drama Festival 2015, click here
Bristol French Drama Festival – an exciting and creative project for secondary schools in the South West, organised by Routes into Languages South West in partnership with enthusiastic and experienced drama teachers from Theatre VO – will showcase short productions prepared by French drama clubs from secondary schools on Saturday 15 March at the University of Bristol.
Foreign language assistants and teachers from several schools and two student language ambassadors attended the interactive training workshop in early November, which gave them the confidence and numerous ideas on how to develop and run a French theatre club in school. They went back to their schools with the aim to organise a French drama club for students who are interested in both subjects (French and drama) to run weekly during the lunch break or after school.
They have just over 4 months to put their experience and useful tips and ideas into practice and create a 5-10 minute performance on the pre-determined theme – this year it’s ‘Feather Duster’ – a challenging but rewarding exercise, which unlocks imagination, brings talent to light and offers teenagers a different and attractive perspective to learning foreign languages.
This will culminate with a fun performance for all – pupils will perform their production on stage and share it with other participants, friends and families at the festival in March! Three prizes will be awarded to winners – for Best Acting, Best Language Skills and Creativity.
