A competitive Festival of Performing Arts, held in November and running for three weeks comprises the sections of Dance, English Speech and Drama, French, Modern Languages (Including German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish) Jèrriais 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 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, St Helier Methodist Centre (formerly Wesley Grove), the Jersey Opera House, the Jersey Arts Centre and St Ouens Parish Hall.

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".

5.1 Dance


DANCE SECTION

The Jersey Eisteddfod Dance Section participates in the Autumn Festival on alternate years. The next time will be in 2008 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 2003 Festival, entries increased by 41% 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 during the second week in May.

The Committee welcomes enquiries regarding the Dance Section. Please telephone the Chairman for further information.

There are classes for solo items as well as those for group entries.

The festival is about gaining confidence through public performance, and has much more to do with taking part than with winning.
