Deutsche
Bank Festival of Performing Arts [Autumn Festival] |
|
| |
| |
A competitive
festival of performing arts, held in November and
running for three weeks comprises the sections of
dance, English speech and drama, French, Jersey Norman
French and music. The sections compete annually except
for the dance section, which is biennial. Independent
adjudicators are engaged for each section, and each
competitor receives an appraisal. From it competitors
learn how to improve their performance.
With the increasing growth of the festival [in 2002,
entries were estimated to be in excess of 2,000] two
venues are used simultaneously.
The festival, commonly called the 'Autumn festival'
is managed entirely by volunteers and takes place
at such venues as St. Helier Parish Church, the Jersey
Opera House, the Jersey Arts Centre and Hauté
Vallée School.
The Jersey Eisteddfod encourages its competitors to
consider the words of Sir Walford Davies: " The
ideal of the competitive festival is not to gain a
prize or defeat a rival, but to pace one another on
the road to excellence".
THE NEXT FESTIVAL OF
PERFORMING ARTS WILL TAKE PLACE IN NOVEMBER 2004 [LAST
ENTRY DATE 24TH SEPTEMBER]

DANCE SECTION
The Jersey Eisteddfod Dance Section participates
in the Autumn Festival on alternate years.
The next time will be in 2005 when, as
usual, the Syllabus will offer a wide
range of Dance - from the more traditional
forms such as Ballet, National, Greek
and Character through to Modern, Song
and Dance and Tap.
Participation in the Dance Section of
the Eisteddfod continues to expand - in
the 2001 Festival, entries increased by
38% and included many competitors from
Guernsey dancing schools. During that
year, the Section moved back to the Opera
House, giving the entrants the opportunity
to perform in the magnificently restored
theatre - many of them for the first time.
The local Dance Section Committee has
teaching members from most of Jersey's
dancing schools, as well as a number of
non-teaching members, all of whom have
had experience in the Dance Section of
the Eisteddfod either as competitors or
as parents of competitors. The Committee
chooses its Adjudicators from the British
Federation of Festivals list and many
past Adjudicators have mentioned how impressed
they have been with the standard of Jersey's
young dancers.
|
There are a number of rules
and conditions governing entry into the
Dance Section. From time to time these may
be updated or amended by the Committee as
necessary. When Dance is participating in
the Autumn Festival, a list of the rules
and conditions may be found on the Jersey
Eisteddfod Website, together with the Syllabus
for that year. This is normally published
around the beginning of June.
The Committee welcomes enquiries regarding
the Dance Section. Please telephone the
Secretary for further information.

We want to encourage entries from those who
like to test their talents and skills against
others and believe that the friendly, competitive
atmosphere will create enjoyment and the attainment
of high standards of performance.
There are classes for solo items as well as
those for group entries.
If you have never entered the Eisteddfod before
we have classes for 'first time entries''
The festival is about gaining confidence through
public performance, and has much more to do
with taking part than with winning. |

Within the parameters of age and length
of time learning, the music section is open
to everyone.
Ages range from the under 5's to 100+.
Most of the classes are competitive, although
there is a non-competitive section.
You may prefer to play/sing a solo or perform
with family/friends. There are classes for
both.
All performers are encouraged to listen
to each other.
The festival is about learning, enjoyment
and giving pleasure to others.

Il y
avait dans not' Jerri,
Des gens qu'aimaient bein à vilyi,
Et les jannes gens dé sé en sé
Faisaient le touo du vaîsinnè
Nos vièrs grands-péthes et nos
grand's-méthes
Allaient raconter lus histouaithes.
There were in our Jersey
People who liked nothing better than to stay
up late
And the youngsters night after night
Would make the rounds of the neighbourhood.
Our old grandfathers and grandmothers
would go to tell their stories
